Hey, folks.

I was wondering if you had a solution for my problem, but first a description of what happened:
1. I bought a new SSD and dual installed Win 7 and Bodhi.
2. I bought an external casing for my old SSD with Bodhi on it so I could boot from it.
3. All was well until I accidentally ran unetbootin with the old SSD (with Bodhi) as target (my Bodhi can't find two different USB storage devices at the same time).
4. Now the old SSD won't boot saying it can't find the kernel.

Now; I'm very unadvanced in linux, I just like to use it (yeah, I'm afraid I'm one of those). So I was wondering anyone had any idea as to what I could do to fix this, except of course reinstalling Bodhi on the external (which I will, if needed, but I'd rather keep it as it is as I've tweaked my theme to my liking and set everything else up the way I want it)?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Morten Båtbukt

BTW: I installed Bodhi side by side with Win7 on the new SSD, but whenever I run Bodhi Win7 needs to fix some corrupted files (disccheck on boot) when I run Windows afterwards, and Google Chrome reports a missing/corrupted file of some sort (a needs a restart). Have anyone had this problem before?

I am no expert, however, I did something similar so my ubuntu sata drive would no longer boot and partitions were corrupted. I looked up instructions for testdisk and fsck.I used the sysrescue live cd and ubuntu rescue cd . I was able to recover and save my important files, etc. to another larger drive. I did not get ubuntu booting again unfortunately. If you look in the ubuntu forums there are many who did get their drives with messed up partitions booting again.

Good Luck,

In the same Partition "side by side" ????

I first installed Bodhi and win 7 side by side, and had the same errors you are getting. I then reinstalled Bodhi, but instead of selecting side by side, I chose let me pick which partition. Then installed as normal, and have not had an error since.

Thanks, folks.

I ended up doing a back up of the files that were needed, and I'll reinstall Bodhi from scratch on it. That way I get the newest version easily as well
