http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi - I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 as a dual boot system with OSX. I thought it was all going well - i could choose either syste from the boot menu and boot into them. Until I removed the install USB stick - when it just says "Loading Operating System..... Read Error" Reading through the forums, I've tried to Code: sudo grub-install /dev/sda But got this response: Code: /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be install (Hardware)

Hello, recently I updated Ubuntu and when I restarted my computer both my windows and linux partitions were greeted with a flashing _ (My Mac partition works just fine) I've searched around for solutions but none have worked, in the attached is a copy of my RESULTS.txt.

Thanks for the quick response.I typed:# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda

i still get

I don't really know what's going wrong, but I get this 'emb

Hi, new to the forum and fairly new to Ubuntu here. I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed alongside Windows 8 on a GPT disk. I installed BURG because I like having everything look nice. But whenever I boot up the computer, grub2 loads instead of burg.
