I have booted the system with ubuntu and mounted the good drive can I edit files on the boot partition to get it to boot? I can see all the files but the fact that when the drive boots it says can file boot partition makes me suspect that I would have to do more than that. The partition is there /boot and it is set to boot. So what your saying above that if I boot the system it should boot and nothing will be synced untill I do it manually?
