Unable to complete boot sequence after install of 9.10
I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 from the LiveCD to a second internal HD. The install was successful, but when I reboot it goes no farther than a screen which is as follows: Grub loading.
I am able to load and run from the LiveCD, I can mount both HDs and files are visible . The second hard disk was unformatted and is set as a slave drive. At the Grub rescue> prompt if I type "ls" it shows "(hd0) (hd 0, 3) (hd 0, 2) (hd0, 1) (fd0)", but it does not show (hd1).
Big concern is I cannot boot to Windows XP, can only run the computer from the LiveCD. I had previously installed 9.04 to an external USB hd and was able to dual boot, worked great. That hd crashed recently so added the second internal 30gb hd to install 9.10 and this is the result.
