GRUB issue

Just did a fresh install of #! after also installing ubuntu 13.04. However, GRUB only shows ubuntu as the operating system (as well as my windows 8 partition). I have completely wiped ubuntu from the SSD I am installing on, and I don't know why it is showing up. It is pretty frustrating, just want to get into this crunchbang action.

Somebody please help me!

Re: GRUB issue

It sounds like the grub part of the #! install failed and your computer still has the ubuntu grub bootloader. Try loading a live #! session and installing the grub-pc package. Then, from  terminal try...

sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda

...or whatever the SSD lettering is, if not sda. Then mount the partition that that #! was installed on to...

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

...Then try...

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg

...Then reboot
