    I can't boot Ubuntu, I keep getting an error.

    I'm using the booting from the LiveCD at the moment.

    If I boot up, it says
    GRUB Loading...
    Error 15

    What can I do to fix this? I've reinstalled a few times now and it's really starting to get on my nerves.

    It would be helpful if you gave a little more information on the specs for your computer and also your partition structure as well as other operating systems (if any) you have.

    Did installer throw any error during installation?
    As yancek already suggested, post the partition structure of your disk here.
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Yeah, it does sometimes, but sometimes it won't.
    It will sometimes say something like, "exit code 2" or something. :/

    Try to re-install GRUB using LiveCD.
    Boot up from Ubuntu LiveCD, open Terminal and execute this

    Code:
    sudo grub
    You will get a grub prompt, grub>

    Execute this:
    Code:
    root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
    Reboot machine.

    In case it doesn't work, execute this
    Code:
    sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
    Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no

    Error 15: File not found

    grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

    GRUB was not installed correctly during installation. stage1 is missing. I would suggest you to re-install using other installation media. If you have downloaded .iso image then verify MD5SUM of image and burn CD at lowest possible speed supported by your CD Burner.

    This is an ordered Ubuntu CD. I'm too worried to burn one because I tried to do that with openSUSE and it won't let me boot. :/

    And I can't boot from a USB device either, my computer won't let me.
    Is there anything else I can do?
