Comment 35 for bug 8978

Hi all...so very, very frustrating. Same error message here.

I have been all over the 'net and no one seems to be able to help. I have found a link that even clearly states what I should type in terminal after booting from the Ubuntu cd and even THAT gives error messages. (see below)

Running 7.10 on a fairly new desktop computer, I've had it about 8 months. Everything was fine until last night I installed EEEkubuntu to a UsB drive. Ever since then, I can not boot my Ubuntu computer. So frustrating. I hope this doesn't mean my hard drive contents are gone? I am not dual booting and not running Windows, only ubuntu.

I've tried everything listed above, changed the bios, cmos, moved the cmos plug inside the computer to reset it. Just sick about this really.

I'm hoping someone has something I could type in terminal to get my boot back. The one thing I did try to do: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/08/11/grub-error-21-after-full-install-to-usb-hard-drive/
gave me the error "could not find device for boot: not found or not a block device" it seems hopeful, that typing "something" in terminal will be the way to go but I know nothing about Linux and have yet to find the person that does know a solution to this.

Much thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!
