Yes, I had been working on it steadily for awhile. You just interrupted me by rebooting the VDS. I'll let you take back over. If you ask for help, in the future, please don't interrupt the person helping you. I see you replied, you can keep troubleshooting, the restart was an accident. More details...

Do you have my ticket since apparently Siren forwarded it to you or something about 4 hours ago?

Ok I've replied in it.

I'm using ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64 disk and I'm stuck at the boot menu. I don't know what to boot from to get to the CD so I can get to the terminal.

If you go back to Gentoo, create the "/mnt/gentoo" folder if it does not already exist. If you mount on top of /mnt or /mnt/cdrom, that will cause problems.

Ok thanks.

Ok, mount with cdrom worked, but I've given up on that part and now I'm on the Ubuntu Live disk. Where It says, "Replace sda1 with the partiton that contains Ubuntu and sda with the drive that contains Ubuntu's partition" sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /...

Have you tried booting with a LiveCD/install CD and attempting to access your files that way? One way to do this would be with the Gentoo one. After booting it up, try a command like this to mount the drive: mount /dev/xvda2 /mnt/gentoo If that succeeds, look at its contents to make sure they're ri...

I'm really confused. I got here, then mount failed because of "no such file or directory"

It is in drive 1 and I did tell it to, and I rebooted.

Ok I hit c, got to the command line, and now "mount /dev/xvda2 /mnt/gentoo" gives me unknown command.
