I believe this happened to me last year, and it had to do with some re-labeling of disk labels. Do you get warnings about disk labels? Anyway, a boot repair tool, if installed, may help you. See if you can boot to recovery or rescue mode. Try "repair packages" to repair the boot loader, grub. - or, using a Ubuntu live cd on the system: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair sudo boot-repair good luck, jp -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Rieff [mailto:trieff at greencaremankato.com] Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 06:46 PM To: 'TCLUG Mailing List' Subject: [tclug-list] error: fd0 read error TCLUG, I have a Ubuntu 12.04 Server with software raid. It said there were updates??? So did the apt-get update and now I get a error: fd0 read error and it won't boot. Screen just goes black after grub screen. Disabled the floppy in bios, but to no avail. Have looked all over the sites for some options. Any thoughts on whether I can recover this???
