Grub Error 17 Win Xp
Contents |
17 ad.madhavanJanuary 4th, 2009, 03:08 AMI have a Dell Dimension 3100. I used to have Ubuntu 7.10 and Windows XP Dual boot working perfectly. Recently I have been running out of disk space. So I used partition magic and formatted all the partitions reserved for grub error 17 fix linux, but leaving windows intact. After which, I converted it to NTFS and merged it all

into one disk space for windows. When I tried restarting the computer I get this message: GRUB loading Error 17 I have a lot of grub loading error 17 windows 7 inportant files on the Harddrive. I do not want to loose them. Please help me restore the system or boot into windows without any file loss. Thanks in advance, this is quite urgent since I have only one computer and grub loading please wait error 17 life without computers can be hard.... Adarsh Tim SharittJanuary 4th, 2009, 03:14 AMThe grub files were on the linux disk you deleted. You need boot from your Windows CD and run fixmbr from the recovery console. stderrJanuary 4th, 2009, 03:23 AMAs the above poster says. You only have one Master Boot Record on a hard drive, and it's small - so it usually just links to the rest of the bootloader, located elsewhere. If you installed Windows first, the MBR would have

been filled with part of Windows' bootloader. Ubuntu's installation would have removed that and filled it with part of the GRUB bootloader. So, currently, a bit of the GRUB loader (basically a link to the rest of the loader - which is now deleted) resides in the MBR, and when you try to boot, the GRUB loader moans that it can't find the rest of GRUB ('cos it's gone :)). fixmbr should replace that GRUB code with Windows' own once more. x22January 4th, 2009, 03:25 AM"fdisk /mbr" rewrites the original master boot record: here's a link to more info http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/215902.html ad.madhavanJanuary 6th, 2009, 11:45 PMThank you very much for the answers, it is very hard to find the XP CD since Dell does not provide it with the computer anymore. I will try your suggestion when I acquire a XP Cd and hopefully it works. caljohnsmithJanuary 7th, 2009, 12:13 AMThank you very much for the answers, it is very hard to find the XP CD since Dell does not provide it with the computer anymore. I will try your suggestion when I acquire a XP Cd and hopefully it works. If you want, you could install a Windows equivalent MBR from your Live CD so that you don't have to hunt down a Windows CD to use. You can do that by running the following commands in a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal): sudo apt-get install lilo sudo lilo -M /dev/sda mbr An

I have an "old" http://askubuntu.com/questions/156474/grub-error-17-and-18-grub-rescue-how-to-boot-again 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). I can't use the Live CD OS, and I can't install them either. This is important: it is ok to erase all HD contents! It is ok to format, repartition, lose all HD data - no problem. In most of the Ubuntu flavours, including the 8.04 CD, the initialization stucks, showing repeatedly the following error messages: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata3.00: cmd 25/00:08:e5:a5:50/00:
