Re: grub won't load after installing new drive
According to google
Sounds like your new drive changed the disk order.Error 22 is an error from GRUB Legacy, not GRUB 2. It sounds as though you still accidentally have GRUB Legacy installed somewhere, and
furthermore that you have a GRUB 2 installation that wasn't correctly updated on upgrade to 9.10. I'd recommend running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure
grub-pc' to re-educate the GRUB 2 package about where it should install itself.

Re: grub won't load after installing new drive
i have mint 7.. not sure how to upgrade to 8, so i dont' think i have grub 2.
so it's trying to load stuff from the new drive? how can i change the order back?

Re: grub won't load after installing new drive
Sorry shouldn't make assumptions. Grub error 22 simple means it's looking for a disk/partition that is no longer there. It often happens when users delete partitions. Putting the new drive in has probably changed the drive order so grub is looking in the wrong place. You can use either the super grub disk or the system rescue CD to fix the problemlex71x wrote:i have mint 7

More likely there was a partition that was in the boot lineup on the old hard drive. If the drive was removed and a new virgin inserted in it's place, this would explain why GRUB can't find what it's looking for.Sounds like your new drive changed the disk order.

Re: grub won't load after installing new drive
actually i didn't take out any drives.. had two drives, added a third one from a computer with a non-working windows installation (virus killed it) so i could recover it thats when the problem started. unplugged it and everything works fine.. ok so i'll try fixing the boot order with super grub disk and see if it works.
