Hi If you just see GRUB it means it cannot complete the first stage booting, probably because of some missing files in /boot If you get a GRUB prompt where you can type in commands it means that it cannot complete the second stage booting. Manually typing the commands from your bootmenu should work at this stage. And yes, SATA drives are considered SCSI, the first is usually mounted on /dev/sda There is a...err issue when using another os at the same time, it messes with the partition type. Should that be the case report back here for a fix for I have had the same thing.
