Hello everybody Im new to LMDE, I want to try LMDE because the strong flavor o debian.

But I got a problem:
I boot ok with liveDVD (gnome) all run very very well, then click on install and everything run ok. But after reboot the pc this wont boot, I reinstall LMDE several times and the same thing results, even I install openSuse, installation and boot work's fine but not with LMDE.

After trying to fix MBR and bootloader with another distro liveCD accidentally I press the option "Boot from hard Drive" and LMDE run and the grub screen appears, I can login and everything else but after reboot again the problem still there.

Any ideas, how to fix this issue?.

thank you in advance.

I try installing grub on SDA, SDA1, SDA2 (on different installs) but the same result, LMDE never install GRUB on MBR.

I had to go back and install the old and always reliable Debian, but I'll keep trying to install LMDE, since I want to try this debian flavor.

I try again to install LMDE but the same result as before, even I tried with a lot of combinations of file system, ext2, ext3, ext4 for a boot partition,

As I say Never recognize boot sector, but if a Put a liveCD and select boot from hard drive LMDE run perfectly.

Its kinda weird, because I tried to install with the same disk on other computer on a virtualbox and everything run smooth.

Please post some Ideas.

You might want to try this >>

Just make sure that you pick either 32/64 bit, depending on what you already have,
you must make the proper choice, or it will not work.
