Hi Phil, Thanks for your quick reply. I have 4 machines and they all have the basic same configuration.
Drive 1: (always a primary) (Windows Partition - 10g) (APPS partition - whatever is left on the drive) Drive 2: (/boot - first partition primary) (/ - second partition primary) (STORAGE - fnal partition with whatever is left for storage) Through all the installs I had grub1 (legacy) on the MBR of Drive 1 with linux installed on drive 2. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS of course does not have Grub legacy as an option anymore) The ones where I did not have a problem is when I didn't have a separate partition for /boot). My backup machine had two drives but, for whatever reason, did not have a separate boot and that worked). Go figure. Email me anytime with questions and I hope that helped.

Do you have more than one drive? Where did you choose to install grub2? -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999948 Title: Ubuntu fails to account for separate boot partition Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In Installing Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop, my system has a separate boot partition /boot on the same drive. When installing Ubuntu 12.04, Grub2 does not seem to account for that and when the installation is finished and you reboot looking to get into Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, grub2 generates an error 15 and halts. What I have tried: (I have tried this on two separate machines so I know it is machine independent) Please note: (Grub1 was installed previously on these machines but another machine had grub1 AND no /boot partition and it worked so I Know it has nothing to do with Grub1) (As stated already, both machines had a separate /boot partition so I can reproduce the error) (as stated:) I tried the install on a third machine with just a / partition and it worked perfectly so I know having grub1 already installed does not affect this situation.
