It all started when I tried to boot Arch Linux, so I go to boot, it boots fine, but when I try to install, I get an error something along the lines of "No Root Block found" and "No media found". So, I googled some, and found that it was a kind-of common problem, various other places said that I didn't have GRUB installed.
So I started to use this guide:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 I booted up with my Ubuntu Live CD, and got into the GRUB shell, and typed the find command, but it couldn't find those folders, so I looked manually, and it turned out they weren't there.
I started to experiment with Sabayon, and when I attempted to boot into the Live CD, it gave me the same error as Arch Linux did, attempting to install it also gave me this same error.. Yet one thing I found odd, was Ubuntu booted it's live CD fine, but Sabayon Didn't.
I went ahead and asked advice from someone who is pretty experienced in the ways of Linux, he said go ahead and use pendrivelinux to put Sabayon on a USB drive. I did that, and voila! It booted up, I got to the desktop, and clicked install Sabayon(The Icon) After going through all of the options it starts to install, at about 2% I get an error. I can't quite recall what the error was, but I believe it was related to python, as I think the file that was corrupted (I'm assuming it was corrupted) had a .py ending. In the process of installing Sabayon, I wiped Windows off of my computer, and now I can't boot from any devices. Such as; If I put a live CD in my computer, it will not boot from it, even if I select it in the bios.
If you read all of this I applaud you, and I applaud you even more if you can fix my problem. Sorry that I am new, and asking for help, but this was the last place I turned. I am also not quite sure if this is the correct section, but I am assuming it is.
Note: Reason I did not put this in a Sabayon Specific forum, is because it will not boot any distro, and it will not install any distro.
