@ comment #23
no, think _not_ to be a detection thing
@ comment #24
exactly, even when the 250GB was sdb grub was installed in that HD.
i think that write but not write good, maybe corrupt i think
@ comment #25
indeed.. that's why i told that should be considered invalid, while a new bug
should be open.
@ comment #26
yes i'm sure but i used dvd restore tool
@ all
to explain better:
1st installation: sda and sdb problem occurr, 250 was red as sdb and 100 like
sda
after installation end i boot computer but i got that error:
"Error No operating system
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Instert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"
so i used dvd repair tool to find the problem
there i discovered the "sda/sdb" issuem and i changed partition order. i was
not able to fix anyway, so i started a live cd and i fixed with the following
commads:
# gurb
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
grub> root (hdx,y)
grub> setup (hdx)
grub> quit
simply i re-installed grub into the mbr using a live cd.
2nd to 7th installation: NO sda/sdb problem, NEVER, i was not able to reproduce
the issue.
3 times everything was ok, installed fine and grub too...
3 times instead, i got the same error :
"Error No operating system
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Instert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"
reading also bug #450963 i think that the problem was ALWAYS the wrong mbr
looks infact, that when grub is installed into mbr 4 times on 7 (in my
installations...)
some times mbr is NOT well write, so, when bios try to read the mbr to boot the
OS, it find or NO ONE, or an INVALID one, so it tell me:
"Error No operating system
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Instert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"
