Yes, I'm giving it a try. I recently picked up a Dell GX270 for $50, and I decided to use it to give Ubuntu a try. I downloaded Ubuntu Studio so it would have a bunch of audio/video programs already installed.

The whole installation went fine, but failed right at the very end when installing the GRUB boot loader. The problem is that it didn't really give any helpful errors to tell me what was wrong, it just said that it failed. I just got one screen that said "Unable to install GRUB in (hd0)", then another that said something like "failed when executing 'grub-install (hd0)' This is a fatal error."

So now the whole thing is installed but I can't boot the OS. Any ideas (expressed in words that complete Linux noob would understand)?
