Unhappy No booting after install

Thats right...

It says "GRUB"

And that's it. Any ideas? I don't have a floppy drive btw.

Well, it seems you installed the GRUB boot loader for Linux. I have never tested that one but some friends of mine complainted about this loader, and their problem was just like yours. Then I told them to use the lilo and apparently solved the problem. I am actually using lilo boot loader. Try to reinstall your linux with that one.
