I have been trying to install some form of Ubuntu/Debian/Arch on this old computer of mine (DELL Dimension XPSB773r) for a while and yesterday I tried Ubuntu Server 16 and the network installation went very smoothly. But when I rebooted, it went into GRUB and I got these messages: grub errors
When I usels I get this:
ls
I used fdisk in MS-DOS and got this:
Partition info FDISK drive 2 (1)|Partition info FDISK drive 1 (1)|FDISK drive info|Partition info FDISK drive 2 (2)
And here is fdisk on Ubuntu:
fdisk ubuntu
And blkid: blkid
Some info that may be helpful:
- The computer has:
- 733mhz Pentium III
- 384mb RAM
- 2 hard drives
- 2 CD drives (1 is a DVD)
- "Legacy Boot" only BIOS (no UEFI)
- The first harddrive has (master drive) :
- a broken Windows XP, Windows ME and Windows 2000 install
- a working Windows 2000 Server install
- The second drive has Ubuntu and the rest is just documents and such (This drive is the slave drive)
- Ubuntu doesn't seem to like mounting DVDs (kept getting mounting errors when using a DVD to install, that is why I used a network install on a CD)
- All of the installations are distinctly separated with different partitions
