I have followed the instructions for booting from a hard drive using the boot from iso method. antiX will not boot and grub gives the same error each time, Error:15 file not found. Below is my grub menu.lst info:

## ## End Default Options ##

Any help to get antiX to boot from my hd would greatly be appreciated. I tried antiX M-8 this week and truly love it.

Hello Vasiliy
I do not exactly understand what you are trying to do: you have a hard disk, and a partition ready for AntiX:
why don't you make a normal HD install to this partition, from antiX running as liveCD?

When I use the fromiso mode, it is for running antiX in liveCD mode, without a CDRom drive, from a USB stick.
The antiX-M8.iso is then located at the root of the **first**, **bootable**, partition of the removable device.
And I select: booting from the USB device in the BIOS settings

Tell me how you arrived to these settings.
I would be glad to help you.

Best regards
Yves

Hi Yves:

Thank you for your answer. I was thinking that the way to install was to use the bootfromiso method on a hard drive. I used the antiX installer, and installed as I had wanted. I now have a different problem but I will open another thread for that. Thanks, again, Vasiliy

You could try reinstalling grub. After that, you can reboot into your system. Then, if needed, edit grub by hand again. First, load the livecd. Then:

menu > desktop > control center > system > configure system > repair system boot
