New question #76991 on Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76991
Thanks for looking. I have been searching and trying different ways to get this installed with no sucess. I am a Linux newbie & OSX newbie. I am trying to triple boot with vista OSX and Ubuntu 9.04. I did have Vista, OSX, & Ubuntu installed but OSX did not show up in the menu (I did not know that I had to edit the list to get it to show up again). So I have tried reinstalling everything multiple time but I keep on getting: "unable to install grub in hd0" Executing grub-install (hd0) failed. This is a fatal error. I have been searching and trying different ways to get this installed with no sucess. I don't know why it worked for the first 5 installs or so except for the missing OSX in the menu, but now no matter what I do I get the same error. I have (1) 1.5tb sata drive with Vista installed first, OSX second, everything works great, Install Ubuntu and get the error. (I still can use Vista, OSX but no Ubuntu). I have tried usig Vista to create all the different partitions during the Vista install and also in Vista's disk management but get the same error message. I tried using G-Parted Live to create all the partitions but no sucess. The way I got it to work originally was after Vista and OSX was installed (I still had unpartitioned space that I was going to use for Ubuntu) all the partitions was originaly created with G-Parted. When installing Ubuntu I used the option to install them side by side (program will shrink vista partition to make a bigger Ubuntu partition (default looks like it was 2.5gb but I made it 100gb) Unpartitioned space was not used. And it worked that way except for the missing OSX in the menu. But what ever I do I get the same error. I even low level formated the drive but that did not help. Someone please help!!!!
