Grub Bootloader Error 17
Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top Grub error 17 and 18 - grub rescue - how to boot again? up vote 1 down vote favorite I've read several similar grub error questions and answers, researched on Google (a lot), but still have not grub error 17 cannot mount selected partition found a solution to my problem. I have an "old" notebook where I've installed Windows XP and then Ubuntu 8.04 - everything worked well for a long time. After the kids played with it (i.e. I have not seen what happened), I couldn't boot anymore. Grub simply said Error 17, and nothing else. After several Error 17 failures, the error changed to Error 18 - and this is the error it shows now. What have I tried? I tried several Linux LIVE CD's and DVD's I have: Ubuntu 8.04, Kubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 11.10, Fedora 11, etc. - none of them is able to start, in all modes and options I tried (I have not manually edited the commands, but tried the provided options).

To be simply put, it’s a boot loader package from grub 1.5 error 17 the GNU Linux project. It’s the common and reference implementation of a multiboot Linux system. It allows you to choose which operating system or specific kernel to boot into.In this article, we’ll http://askubuntu.com/questions/156474/grub-error-17-and-18-grub-rescue-how-to-boot-again be looking into figuring out some common grub errors and hopefully, work out a fix for them. Repairing a broken Grub 2 bootloader: There are tons of us here who broke their grub thanks to autoupdates through apt or similar. Hopefully, this will allow them an way to fix their system without reinstall.Grub now features an advanced rescue mode, truly a godsend for people https://www.unixmen.com/fixing-a-few-common-grub-errors-broken-bootloader-and-error-1715/ who somehow messed their MBR tables up.You want to trigger that and get into grub. Then execute the commands below to get back into an working desktop first.lsset prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grubset root=(hdX,Y)setls /bootinsmod /boot/grub/linux.modlinux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY roinitrd /initrd.imgboot The X and Ys are to be filled in with your own HDD information. If you only have one HDD, it’ll be X=0, Y=1 and so on. At this point, you should atleast be able to boot up normally.
