Are you certain that you were using the newest version of the ISO? It should have "2012" in it. If you use an old version, it may not work properly.

Yep it's 20120223

Hmm. You might try the earlier one, in that case, just to see. You should also try the Ubuntu fix.

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 right:

I'm still on the 2012 disk, and /dev/xvda2 exists but /mnt/gentoo doesn't. in the /mnt directory there is a file called "cdrom". Would "mount /dev/xvda2 /mnt/cdrom" work?

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"

Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda


What do I replace sda for? Maybe xvda?

Yes, it should be xvda1 in place of sda1, and xvda in place of sda.

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.

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.

Please open a support request so that I can take a closer look at your virtual drives -- it should not think that the drive is being unmounted like that.

Actually, can we just use my current support ticket about this topic?

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