ok so i figured i out. when i attempted to boot i would get the grub > prompt.
heres what you do. you must tell grub where to look for vmlinuz and initrd.img. luckily theres a symbolic link in / of your install drive
first identify where you installed to. in my case im on a laptop with a second hard drive on a usb controller. grub sees hard drives as hd0 hd1 hd2 etc in my case i have winblows 10 on hd0,2 this means the first drive second partition. i installed to the other drive so its hd1 and i went to partition 2 since the fat32 efi partition is the first. so forst command
grub > set root=(hd1,2) // this tells it what drive and partition//
next tell it where the kernel and initrd are
linux /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.img
boot
when you get into x use one of the consoles and type the following
sudo update-grub
it will find all boot parts and images and set them in a new config menue for you
reboot and yer fixed. use the f12 menue to choose your os
