Hi, I have been through the
entire installation process twice to see if I could end up with a bootable
installation. The GRUB boot loader
installs by default. I select to install the GRUB boot loader to the master
boot record. The installation reports at completion that it will boot into the
new system I have just installed. However when the system
reboots it reports the error 'Primary master hard disk fail'. I am at my wits end. The
standard installation process has failed!! Not being a Linux guru I
would really appreciate some specific pointers as to how to sort this problem
out. I looked at 'rescue' and I
see that I can shell into my installation but what to check and what to do to
sort this out??? Furthermore as the BIOS
reports the presence of a Primary Master I assume that my HD is OK, especially
as it is a totally new replacement drive. Regards, David |
