>speak your first language and be willing to help.<br><br>I understand english perfectily but the writing isn't that good, lack of pratice... Thanks for the concern :D<br><br>Ok, back to business, i' ve had dinner, and rested a little...<br>
<br>It can find grub at start up without cd, lets get to grub console and do grub thingies :p it shows that my master boot is at hd0,1 wich should be correct...<br><br>Editing the grub option i can see that uuid is already at use but it does not work...<br>
<br>The thing that bothers me the most is <br><br> - the fact that if i boot from cd <br> - then on cd menu choose "boot from first disk" <br> - it appears the grub again ( so far so good, it should amd it does )<br>
<br>If i edit the options they are the same as grub without cd BUT and yes BUT if i go grub console the system drive is hd4,1...<br><br>And if that isn't strange egnouth ( remeber that i'm still on grub after booting from cd ) one of the first or even the first line that appears shows that it is booting (hd0,1) ext3 bla bla bla...<br>
<br>This stuff kills me...<br><br>I have one of two options the way i see it:<br><br> - Find a way to boot grub as if it is called from installation cd<br> - replace motherboard<br><br>I leave it to your appreciation...<br>
<br>If you have any doubts or anything you wanna ask please do.<br><br>Thanks for your time and knowledge<br>
