When I try to start up the computer all I get is about 2 lines of GRUB GRUB...
This also happens when I try to boot from CD, which is annoying. It started the other day after I tried to install Arch from USB. I can still boot from usb without getting the annoying multiple grub (I'm currently installing ubuntu onto a thumb drive to see if I can get in). I've googled around but not found anything that can help me.
So what would you guys recommend? Reinstall grub?
Thanks
Hi and Welcome !
Set CD Drive as First Boot Device in BIOS. Machine will boot up from CD.Quote:

It looks like you have installed GRUB in MBR of Hard disk but its conf files are missing. Is there any other OS in Hard disk?
Hi there. Thank you for the very quick reply. I've been searching through the bios and can't seem to find that option. Any idea where it might be? Thanks.
I'm using a dell studio.
Edit: There should be Arch on the internal hdd.
Edit2: In the bios I altered the boot preference order (if that's what you were talking about?) but this resulted in the same problem.
You have installed GRUB of USB in MBR of Internal disk. You have to re-install Boot Loader of Arch again.
Either boot up in Rescue Mode using Arch installation media or boot up from LiveCD, mount and chroot / partition of Arch. Re-install Boot Loader. You can use SuperGRUB CD or USB too.
Doesn't machine boot up from CD on setting CD Drive as a first choice in Boot Preferences?Quote:
