Problem at start with Grub
I made a Ghost image of a Puppy Installation. When I restored it on a different hard-disk system freezed with the message "GRUB..."
What has it happened? |
Grub's "root" (where to look for the /boot/grub/ directories and its files) has changed when you played with different disks; you need to interrupt Grub at the 'first stage' and specify a working 'root'.

Thank you. |
We need to know more, how many distros do you have and the hd partitions. Give us your partitions by doing 'fdisk -ls' in terminal as root and pasting the results here.

First let me ask, do you have a linux operating system that will boot on this computer? You will need something, if not need to have a live cd, about any live cd will work.

Ok, I solved reinstalling Grub from the puppy live cd :-)
