hi all, Having some problems learning the world of linux.
I installed ubuntu 8.04 on my external hard drive. this drive has about 5 partitions including the ubuntu one. on the installer when it comes up to the final screen i selected advance and on the boot loader i selected /dev/sdc which is the external hd so it wont install on the mbr of the main hd with xp. now install went well, updated the bios to first boot from external hd then cd then main hd. restarted, grub is nowhere to be seen and xp loads up. i checked the grub stage1 and menu.lst and their all displaying (h2,5) which is the linux partition but is this where the bootloader went? did i commit an error on the bootloader install by just putting /dev/ sdc? should i have put something like '/dev/sdc5' ?? how can i fix this? -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
