I got a error window saying "grub-install (hd0) failed. This is a fatal error." during my last step of installation of ubuntu 7.04 (at 94%) this morning. My PC had 4 NTFS partitions and I used the "Manual Configure" to instruct the installer to reformat one partition to "ext3".
After the failure of installation, I searched around on Internet and followed one person's experience by trying to set the format of the partition to "ext2", then the installation succeeded ! Before getting that error, I got another message saying sth like "no root file system is defined". At that time, the mounting point was "/media/sdb1". After I changed the mounting point directory to "/", following another person's post, the error message disappeared. I confirmed I am having dual-booting OS now and both worked normally. By using Konqueror, I can copy files from NTFS parition to Linux one. So far I have to say I like linux, like Ubuntu. Many free softwares, unlike under MS windows, you are supposed to pay for most of softwares you are interested. -- Grub Install Failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/14135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
