GRUB problem

[Veneco]

Hello,

 

I was able to install Mac and it's working perfectly, I have two HDDs and all my installation was working fine (well I had problems with linux, but didn't care) until yesterday, now right before it lets you select the operating system, where there is like a flashing line it stays there for about 30-40, sometimes a min after pressing down and then enter, then shows the list for a split of a second and goes where ever it had highlighted, so i can kind of get to the OS that I want but I think that is just going to get worst.

 

I have not done anything in linux, transferring files from the master (windows) to the slave (Mac) works perfectly, no updates on Mac (10.4.9) and I haven't done any on Windows for a while. It just happened it was working perfectly the times before that.

 

I would guess disconnect the slave (Mac), and re-install Linux, because when I installed Mac with both HDDs connected Linux (Kubuntu) gave me video problems, characters look huge I had no way of getting anywhere because it would take the whole screen.

 

Or should i try to install GRUB when I'm on windows or Mac and try if it works.

 

Thank you,

i wouldnt install grub for the life of me.... i still get random "grub" spam on my screen. I have done low level formats, partitioned my drive in 5 partitions, done the 35 x 0's pass for disk erase with mac startup disk and nothing gets rid of that darn thing.

To get rid of GRUB, formatting and erasing won't work no matter what you do. To delete GRUB, you have to overwrite the MBR with a new bootloader.
