Alright so my windows machine at work died, corrupted files and instead of just reinstalling windows since I have 4 terminal servers here I figured I’d just access my email from a terminal server and install a Linux system to govern the network. First it took me like 2 days to e even get Linux installed on this machine simply because its running an 80 gig sata hard drive. Took me hours beyond hours just to find out I had to switch the boot to a generic loader in order for it to even see that sata hard drive.
So I finally got it installed, did my updates, ejected the CD rebooted the machine, and BAM “No OS to boot”.. COnfused.. Stick the DVD back in, got to the install screen, choose to boot from hard disk instead, loads grub, loads Linux Find.. No DVD = No OS? any ideas?
