Grub error 15 just after install
« on: May 04, 2013, 10:14:18 PM »
As a former user of Free-EOS, I came to SME Server confidently.
I burned the ISO and I installed SME Server on my new hardware before I move all my datas and applications from Free-EOS to SME.

But... When SME server reboot after install, I get an error from Grub :
Grub stage 1.5
Error 15

It seems that a file can't be found. OK, but wich one ? How to place it and where to place it ?

I use a PC with Pentium4 and 2 hard disks SATA (160 GB) for Raid 1.

Thanks a lot.

Were the HDs used previousely?

This may be required Re-use HD or Write Grub Boot Sector

One of them was used with Mandriva Linux and Windows XP.
The other one must be new, but I'm not totally sure (both of them have been sold as *new* disks, never been used, but I found a Windows system installed on the first one).

I will follow the steps described on Re-using Hard drives with a live cd.
I'll go back after.

I'm back...

The first method (Re-using hard drives) didn't work. I had Grub error 15 again.

The second method (Write Grub boot sector) seems to be better : my sme server boots.

Thanks a lot !
