switching from windows to linux
#20
Dan you got me there, I'll do a full system scan.

Last night, fdone exams, no homework rush or anything, finally got around to installing Ubuntu.
I could've hackintoshed it but from a rather quick glance, the 680i sli mobo I have wasn't ideal.

This is the part where I may need someone over MSN for some Live(hah... pun...) help. Seems that the whole multiple partitions and multiple hard drives situation is causing some issues...

From what I gather the mapping isn't right... grub and linux are showing different... information about my hard drive order.
for ex, i installed Linux to what grub says is hd(1,0), the partition on it being hd(1,4).
when i installed linux, i picked /dev/sda
pretty sure /sda is now being shown as hd(0) but I set Linux to install Grub to the same partition it was installing itself to.
Found this all out using SuperGrubDisk

Also, can`t boot the LiveCD as it goes to a green screen.


Anyway, anyone think they can help? my forum username@gmail.com is my MSN...
