    Default GRUB Error 22

    I dual boot Windows XP and Ubuntu Dapper. Recently I realized I needed more space on Ubuntu's partition so I decided to use the GPARTED LiveCD to repartition my Hard Disk. After I completed this everything worked fine. Here's a low tech diagram of my HDD at this point:

    Windows --- Unallocated Space --- Ubuntu

    Since GPARTED can only expand a partition to the right I had to copy the Ubuntu partition and paste it into the Unallocated Space:

    Windows --- Ubuntu copy --- Ubuntu

    Then I deleted the Original Ubuntu partition and expanded the Ubuntu copy to fill the rest of the HDD:

    Windows --- Ubuntu copy


    Everything appeared to be normal until I rebooted: I get a GRUB Error 22 in the boot process. ](*,)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't boot either one of my Operating System's at the moment.

    You have to fix the Master Boot Record, or whatever it is called. That is the same error I got when the virus hit my windows partition and screwed everything up.

    I think I tried doing the same thing as you, before the virus hit... messed up a few things.

    I got some help on the Ubuntu forums and was able to fix it last night:
