Hello,
I am having a problem with my grub boot loader. Usually I know what to do but to day it has been acting up. This is what happened. I run linux mint 11 and usually grub comes up with the GUI and says if I dont select one of the OSs to go into that in 8s it will load which ever is highlighed. Well today it wint do that...at all. The gui comes up and gives me the various chices of what to load into but the seconds are not there and after pressing enter on mint i get a black screen with a white characterbox in the top left that does nothing.
I am not sure how to approach this and stuck it in the programming thread because i thought someone might be able to help me use commands to get into it
Just got it up and running and I am responding to you through it!
I figured out I did not have my BIOS Boot settings on my one harddrive.
And Yancek, this will answer your question (as I realised this too), I have 2 different hdds and they both have different distros on them! I have no idea how I had it working before or what set it off and wouldn't let me boot into it, but it works now!
