    Having confirmed that, it rebooted but then got stuck on a black screen with some text, and the message that no bootable device was detected, and to please insert the disc? Huh?

    It seems grub was not properly installed. In your Bios, check to see what is the Boot order. You should see if there is a small partition (300 mb? I am not sure) that contains the grub info. Place it so it is the first HD option in the boot order.
    If such a partition sdoesn’t exist, maybe you installed grub in the main “/root” partition. Try to remember, in the last installation screen, where did you select grub to be installed. (and make sure it is in MBR “format”. If you installed it in the / partition, then you will have to place that higher in the boot order.
    if you didn’t isntall grub or it didn’t install properlly, go to a live USB of antiX and, in Control Center there is an option In Manteinance tab that sais something like “Boot Repair”. Follow instructions and you should be able to fix your boot.
