This is a new installation I've never booted from. I come from a background in Mandriva 2010, and wanted to try something new.

Surprised to see an i386-pc on a regular install but I haven't used 12.10??

This is actually an x64 version I'm installing (as far as I'm aware - at least it said that on the ISO I burned), so I'm assuming it's just the naming conventions this distro uses.

Are you using the Ubuntu Live CD to access the hard drive?

Yes, as I mentioned before, I had to use the Live CD to repair Grub the first time I tried to boot my pc. I tried looking for the file myself when I found that didn't work, and had found it. Which means Grub isn't seeing it, possibly for the reason I mentioned above.

Do you mount your hard drive partition or is it auto-mounted under /media?

I'm not sure I understand this question. If you're talking about how I'm installing the OS, the setup program auto-partitions the drive. I'm not even aware of any way I can actually partition the drive myself. If you're talking about mounting the partition after booting to the Live CD, yes I'm using the mount command, as per
these instructions.
