I /seem/ to recall recently learning that drive numbering starts at "1" and not "0" for grub2, which would be consistent with a "disk 'hd0,2 not found' error.

Hi Carl,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Please forgive me as I am very new to this.
When the error comes up, it asks me if I wan to retry boot loader configuration. I click yes and it opens up the configuration screen.
The options on this screen are set as follows: Boot Loader: GRUB2 Boot Loader Location: Boot from Root Partition
Which of these options do I have to change? Do you have any idea why this does not work in Hyper-V but the exact same options work in VirtualBox and on a physical machine?
Hi Paul, First, the convention on this list is 'bottom posting.' Second, we already receive mails sent to the list so there's no need to send second copies directly to subscribers. :-) Unfortunately, I don't really have time to walk you through debugging this tonight, but I can at least point you to some good resources: "Invoking terminal from YaST" http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:YaST_tricks#Invoking_terminal_from_YaST "Bug 779534 - /usr/sbin/grub2-install failed with code 256" --> not your specific problem, but closely related and some great context and diagnostic tricks: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=779534 Try "2013 grub2-install failed with code 256" and variants in Google.
