Subject: Re: no such partition~I hurt my machine
I don't see anything wrong, but then again, my dabbling with grub
usually didn't end well.

If you don't have anything on the partitions to lose, I would suggest
booting from a live CD like GParted, making your partition edits that
way and then installing as normal. I believe installing Ubuntu on a HD
with multiple partitions will come with grub already on board.

Trying to straighten it out through the command line might be a more
fun learning experience, though : )
