http://askubuntu.com – 12.04 server installed. Physically added a 1TB drive to system and I'm now getting: GRUB loading. error: no such partition. grub rescue> Any thoughts/suggestions? Mark EDIT: Once I create a partition on the new drive (with GParted from LiveCD), I get a blinking cursor at boot and nothing else. EDIT: Unplugged first drive and tried to install on 2nd (1TB v. 120GB). When creating partition I get Incorrect metadata area header checksum in virtual console(f4) (HowTos)

How can I use a USB flash drive to boot Linux from a partition on (another) hard drive?

I'm trying to install Linux on an encrypted partition on the hard drive (using LVM on LUKS).

Since /boot must be on a separate, unencrypted partition, I would like to store it on a USB flash drive.

My plan was to install GRUB (2) to the flash drive (/dev/sdb) and boot Linux from it's MBR, or if the drive was

Is it possible to use grub-install or update-grub to just search on specific disk/partition? (or ignore specific)?

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my hard drive, but i wished to do some testing on it without harming current installation, so I "rsynced" root partition (the only) to the USB partition (ext4). I did fix /etc/fstab on USB partition.

Grub Rescue: no such partition 3 years 22 weeks ago

My computer does not have a working CD rom drive, so I had booted from USB (used UNetbootin to make the USB) to install Ubuntu initially. I had Ubuntu working on my laptop (Gateway 7330gz), started messing around with it, and decided I wanted to start fresh again.

I tried to install Arch Linux onto an external hard drive, I made a root partition (ext3), and a little swap space. I flagged the root partition "boot" and I installed the grub loader onto the dev/sdb/ (not the root partition). Looked like a successful installation, but when I restarted grub was loading and quit part way with the Error 17: cannot mount selected partition...

[lubuntu] Broken grub install 33 weeks 12 hours ago

It all started when I decided to try to install LVM2 on my Acer AO722 netbook. I have 12.04 Lubuntu installed on an OCZ Vertex 4 128G SSD, and it was working well enough up to this point.

I found to use LVM I needed grub installed on a non-LVM partition.

Original title: How can i solve (un)booting windows 7 on the same partition with grub?

I've been researching for 2/3 days about this problem and I have came up empty.

Basically, partition 1 is Windows 7 and partition 2 is Ubuntu 12.04. I told Ubuntu to install into partition 2 and to install grub on partition 1 and that works fine. But the problem now is that I can't boot to Windows 7.
