When I try to boot my notebook I get:
GRUB loading Stage 1.5
Grub loading, please wait....
Error 21_
I have spent all day googling this error. It sounds like it should be an easy problem to fix. I just dont have the tech skills to understand what how to fix it. Can somebody either point me towards a site that explains how fix this in a simple step by step, or help me figure this you.
So far all I have learned is:
This happened because I was trying to create a duel boot using my external drive. That some how messed up something, in the bios, my windows boot drive, the registery, idk. The only thing I can find are links to forums with every forum offering up a little different answer.
what I can make out if it, is "grub" is something that tells my computer where to go to get the info it needs to boot into an OS. My grub got lost and my computer doesnt know where to go.
How can I put it back on track?
Thank you for your help.
Maybe this will make everything more clear. Again I thank you for any help you can offer.
My computer's hard drive and dvd-drive broke, and HP is 'lost' my warranty. Being the genius that I am, I get this great idea. Ill use my office computer to install OpenSuse on my external hard drive. That way I can use which it out with my non-working hard drive.
My notebook is an HP, my office notebook is a Toshiba. Needless to say me brilliant idea bit me in the ***. Now neither computer works. I am using a liveCD on the Toshiba trying to find some way to undo my damage.
1st of all the Toshiba does not support booting from a USB drive, but my HP does. Now when I turn it on I get this error:
GRUB loading Stage 1.5
Grub loading, please wait....
Error 21_
I have tryed to run my WindowsXP install disk, to repair the installation. But I dont have the Admin's password.
If I get the admin's password, would that solve my problem?
I have googled this, and visited many links. But I have not yet found anything that would be of use to me. I dont know too much about computers. Really all I know is how to repeat what people have shown me.
I hope you can help me fix this. Thank you for any assistance.
