It could be the grub that`s corrupt although that usually spits back some kind of error at you....re-installing it might help but that`s a little more convoluted with Grub2 nowadays than it used to be with the original Grub re-installation.
The User Errors section in here explains how though.
Not something i`ve ever had to do thankfully....yet anyway.
Perhaps the Grandmaster approach might have proved even quicker by now, if you didn`t have tooo much to back up of course.. 
2 strange seeming problems guys but mabey the OP or someone might be able to help were i obviously cant. |
I gave up trying to fix it and re-installed and it seems to be running fine this time.
The external drive is working too but only if I plug it in after ubuntu has loaded up.
