Create a separate /boot partition somewhere near the begingining of your hard disk. Thanks for the response but, eh, I have been dual-booting for years now and therefore already have a 300MB boot partition at the start of the HD, and have been running 10.1 without any problems since it came out until this morning when the error message suddenly came up. (Just checked with cfdisk and all the partitions are there as they are supposed to be.)
Ugh. Seems to be correct...
Checked in the BIOS and all drives are correctly recognised.
Any other suggestions, please?
No... sorry.
Thanks, Carlos. If the worse comes to the worst I'll just breakdown and cry.....
