First thing to try, in BIOS try setting the SATA mode to "IDE" or "Legacy" or "Compatibility" (not AHCI). If the installation goes correctly, then afterward you can go back and reset SATA mode to AHCI and it should work right.
If that doesn't help, then I'd set a new partition table on the hard drive and make the partition(s) again, and reinstall. (Back up any/all data first). |

@dibl: Bios setting for SATA mode is not AHCI, because of troubles with xp...

sry, the /etc/default/grub is the one of the live cd ...
here is the one from the system:
Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet radeon.modeset=0"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=791"

If you boot from sdb, then in grub.cfg it must be
Code:
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
But don't edit grub.cfg, you have to edit the right files in /etc/grub.
Why you havn't installed grub to mbr of sda?
Then the config is right and you shold able to boot win and linux. |

but hd0 is sda?
first time i'd installed grub to mbr -> after reboot i got the message 'error: no such device on "uuid of my rootpartition"'.
So i wasn't able to start linux or windows -> so i installed grub to my linux partition.
That's what i meant with changing to sda as boot-device... i don't want to, but it's the only possibility to have a running system!
If grub will ever works fine, then i don't need to switch again. |

I installed aptosid again. after reboot same as ever.
But something during the installation is odd!
xparted says that the sata disk is sda, there i installed root and grub.
when i mount sda1 with live cd, it shows me my windows ide disk, which supposed
to be sdb2!
And when i mount sdb1 i have my linux partition.
In grub rescue when i set prefix to (hd0,msdos1) = sda1? i get the error "out of disk" and when i set the prefix to (hd1,msdos1) = sdb1? i get the error "unknown filesystem"
Can anybody help, please?? |

| Changed Bios settings for onboard serial port, onboard parallel port, parallel port mode and disabled floppy drive. I don't know what setting caused the problem and i can't reproduce it by changing it back to before. |

Grub and Linux installers do not always agree on the /dev/sdx ID of hard disk drives, when you mix IDE and SATA drives. Before I retired my last IDE drive, I had the same problem on an Intel D975XBX motherboard.
The easiest workaround I found was to pull the power connector off the IDE drive while I installed Linux on a SATA drive. Afterwards, you can reconnect the IDE drive, fix /etc/fstab (always use UUID numbers, not "/dev/sdx"), and Grub doesn't care, unless you want to boot an OS off the IDE drive. In that case, run update-grub and the OS prober should find the other OS and put it on the boot menu for you. |
