maybe just maybe you have to remove the existing packages before , but if it works without removeing then fine

Hello, I'm attempting to boot Ubuntu from an ext hard drive. The install went off without a hitch but when I attempt to boot from the hard drive it gives me this error: Error: File '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found. Then it prompts me with a "grub rescue>" command prompt. Any ideas on what to do now?
amity 2017-01-29 18:26:50
we can see that type
amity 2017-01-29 18:26:54

Noobish, Do you have your second computer?
Noobish 2017-01-29 18:28:12
No, it is at my friend's house. I'm booting it all up from this computer I'm on.
xXEoflaOEXx 2017-01-29 18:29:56
Noobish, It seems that GRUB is not installed properly. Boot to Live CD then check your external hard drive with fdisk -l. What output does it give you?
Noobish 2017-01-29 18:30:34
What do you mean "Boot to Live CD"? xXEoflaOEXx
sirv 2017-01-29 18:31:14
u need to connect that external harddrive to a working linux installation a reinstall grub on the external harddrive
sirv 2017-01-29 18:31:27
is that an USB or ESATA or what kind
sirv 2017-01-29 18:31:43
*working linux machine
xXEoflaOEXx 2017-01-29 18:32:15
Noobish, It means insert your Ubuntu Live CD into your CD-ROM drive then go to BIOS boot menu and select CD-ROM, then select Try Ubuntu without installing, it should give you a desktop, then open the terminal and check the external disk with fdisk -l.
Noobish 2017-01-29 18:32:32
It's a USB fat23 external hard drive, sirv.
Noobish 2017-01-29 18:32:40
xXEoflaOEXx: I will get back to you in a few moments with the answer.
Noobish 2017-01-29 18:33:09
Let me switch to my phone.
sirv 2017-01-29 18:33:29
phiona did it work for u ?
Noobish 2017-01-29 18:35:21
Remind me the command please.
xXEoflaOEXx 2017-01-29 18:36:34
noobish, fdisk -l
xXEoflaOEXx 2017-01-29 18:36:54
Noobish, and paste the output to pastebin.
phiona 2017-01-29 18:37:40

phiona 2017-01-29 18:39:16

sirv 2017-01-29 18:41:35
sirv > it should have automatically updated .. very strange why they did not do it
sirv 2017-01-29 18:41:54

sirv 2017-01-29 18:42:06

sirv 2017-01-29 18:44:52
phiona > but it is not good behaviour from Canonical they did not update repository for 16.04 ... 16.04 is long term support for years .. and your application did not even start how can that be ...
