When to remove USB stick after install?

Question

Just installed 13.04 from USB stick, it said needed to restart to complete, but just rebooted to the gnu grub screen.. No new options, just try Ubuntu, install it, or check disc for errors.. Tried again and took the USB stick out right after I clicked restart and it froze.. It won't load without the stick in.. Tried this install three times now..

Solution 1

Boot with the USB stick in, and open terminal. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo fdisk -l

You will see something like that image below. look for the device with the boor flag. In the example its /dev/sda1.

You case might be different. Once you find out your boot device, just do

sudo grub-install /dev/sdxx

Replace the xx with your device ID. Once done, shut down the machine and remove your USB device.

Solution 2

1. Shut down your computer.
2. Remove your USB stick.
3. Now start your computer.
   I hope this will work for you.

Did the installation complete?

[Rick]

Yes, the restart screen came up, and when clicked on it, rebooted to the gnu grub screen with the same options as pre install

Can you upload a picture of the screen?
