Commands executed improperly can lead to an unbootable condition. If this happens, the user can use the Ubuntu installation CD to repair the installation to a working condition. All device names (like /dev/sda1 and hd0,1) used in the tutorial must be adjusted to match the partitions on the user's specific system. Do not copy commands in this tutorial without adjusting the drive/partition designations when appropriate! Why may you want to do this? Grub 2 error: no such partition.
