*URGENT* Grub 1.5 Error 18

[greenghoul]

Hi, I recently pulled out my old computer and decided I would install linux on it so I could get online.

The specs aren't the greatest (Pentium II processor, 94 MB RAM, and an 8 GB HDD). I chose AntiX 8.0 as my OS.

Anyways, I got through the installation just fine, but when it said "Try rebooting your computer without the CD"...So I did, and what happened? I got that error.

I've tried rebooting with different Live CDs to no avail. Is there anything I can do to get back up and running?

Thanks for any help.

Hello and Welcome.
Boot up any LiveCD and open a terminal window, login as root or use sudo, depending on your system. Issue this command and post your results, please.

fdisk -l

That's a Lowercase L, not a 1
Tell us a little bit about the structure of your hard drive...did you partition it yourself? Did you install anything else? Do you have Windows on the drive also?

It said "fdisk" isn't a command.

Anyways, I did partition the hard drive myself.

I have
hda1 - which is just under 8 GB
hda3 - (I just made it when I got the live CD booted finally) Which is 400 MB
and Swap-Linux which is 512 MB.

I made hda3 so I can just put the GRUB loader there and it'll hopefully stop the problem with error 18.

And no, I don't have anything else installed, it's a fresh HDD.

Which distro are you using?

[greenghoul]

AntiX 8.0.

It's one of those "light" distros.
