Hi.
I have Huge problems installing grub.
I have tried all guides on the web and nothing seems to work, so now i ask here.
My setup is:
Dualboot Linux mint and Windows 8.
Im using the raid controller on my mobo which is called a fake raid setup. I need this solution for a dual boot.
Raid partition is located at:
/dev/mapper/pdc_daggehfja
which contains the two partitions for windows and linus:
/dev/mapper/pdc_daggehfja1 Linux
/dev/mapper/pdc_daggehfja2 Windows
Upon running sudo fdisk -l i get

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

This time i have followed this guide: http://www.overclockers.com/how-to-dual ... aid-array/
My issue:
When i come to the number 25. in the guide i am executing this:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
what i get:
Error 15: File not found
If i go through the gui i can see the file /boot/grub/stage1
If you need more info i will provide it to you asap.
Thanks in advance.
