Since grub didn't fully load I'm cannot mount selected partition linux assuming something is awry with it, perhaps the menu.lst. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

So I got a new netbook (Samsung n150 dated 03/2011) it had ubuntu 10.10 installed but I already use ubuntu on my macbook so I'm trying out knoppix, I booted it from usb and ran the HD installer, it gets through all that and then installs grub ok, but when I reboot I get "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" Things I already tried: *Grub setup (grub, root (hd0,1), setup (hd0), quit) and every variation. *I tried removing the usb and setting the HDD back to first boot in the bios and then changing the menu.lst accordingly, still I get error 17. Below is the information just after boot with the usb still plugged in and set as first boot in bios. fdisk -l Code: Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 131 1052257 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 * 132 30401 243143775 83 Linux Disk /d

Please add what devices have which system installed (e.g. /dev/sda1 Ubuntu; /dev/sda4 Windows). If you are not booting from removable media, (USB drive, etc.) remove it as the /media/BC5... entry seems to be gumming up the works. –msw Dec 4 '10 at 15:54 @msw I am trying to run this command form installed ubuntu and I have removed all removable media. Thanks for your help. –Searock Dec 4 '10 at 16:10 it definitely looks like grub is looking for some external media.Did you mount /boot on a separate partition? &n
