I flagged the root partition "boot" and I installed the grub loader
Error 15 File Not Found Grub Windows 7
onto the dev/sdb/ (not the root partition). Looked like a successful installation, but when I restarted grub was loading and error 15 windows 7 quit part way with the Error 17: cannot mount selected partition... the line above that stated "/boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 ro. sdb1 is my root partition. Since grub didn't fully load I'm assuming something is https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB_Error_Reference awry with it, perhaps the menu.lst. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Note: I would appreciate as much detail in the correction process as possible. I'm very interested Thanks!ALSO: I followed the beginners guide to the T Last edited by oldstutz (2010-07-27 03:19:58) Offline #2 2010-07-26 02:22:37 fsckd Forum Moderator Registered: 2009-06-15 Posts: 3,588 Re: [SOLVED] Error 17: cannot mount selected partition try http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UUID aur S https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=101720 & M :: forum rules :: Community EthosResources for Women, POC, LGBT*, and allies Offline #3 2010-07-26 02:25:45 oldstutz Member Registered: 2010-07-26 Posts: 24 Re: [SOLVED] Error 17: cannot mount selected partition I'll give it a shot, during installation I'll use the UUID option. Thanks Offline #4 2010-07-26 02:51:04 oldstutz Member Registered: 2010-07-26 Posts: 24 Re: [SOLVED] Error 17: cannot mount selected partition Ok, I used UUID, and I got the same results, this time tho instead of "root=/dev/sdb1 ro" It had a long string of things and UUID in the mix. I read somewhere a similar problem, and they said something about because it is an external hard drive, grub confuses its hd(x,x) position or what not, but it didn't say how to fix it...Anyways, I'm off for tonight, I'll try again tommorrow.

IIRC resintalling GRUB from a live cd fixed it. I don't know how that work as that in theory wouldn't fix this error, but
