on it, and I had Ubuntu installed on a Mushkin 16gb flash drive. I partitioned it with a FAT32

partition as sdb1, a Linux partition as sdb2, and a swap as sdb3 so that I can use 3GB of it on windows machines as a typical flash drive, but run it

as Linux on my laptop instead of dual booting (I've had issues with that in the past). I'd really like to keep this configuration moving to Arch, but I can't seem to get it to work.I first tried to partition using GParted and install accordingly, but first boot I got a Grub Error 17. Booting 'Arch Linux'root (hd1,1) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7kernel gparted boot flag /boot/vmlinux-linux root=/dev/sdb2 roError 17: Cannot mount selected partitionI then googled the error and found the wiki article on grub, which tells me that using gparted might make the order off. So I followed the instructions (fdisk fix and grub reload), but I already edited the grub to be sure it was (hd1,1). fdisk told me no errors.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#GRUB_Error_17So then I tried to reinstall using the partition editor included with the livecd. No dice.I then tried to reinstall using UUID instead of device names. Same error.I tried editing grub at the time and changing root to (hd0,1), and it starts to boot a little, but then i get dropped into an emergency shell saying sh: can't access tty; job control turned offI've taken a look at the wiki article on installing to a USB drive, but it doesn't do what I want with the 3gb flash drive. I didn't change any of the configurations overly much (I added my host hard drive the first time through to fstab), I just followed the beginners tutorial. I am installing within a virtual pc, always installing bootloader and everything to sdb. Let me know if

Grub error 17 is kind of scary because you don't even see your grub menu in this case and grub error 15 is very frustrating https://stringofthoughts.wordpress.com/2009/05/24/grub-error-17-debianubuntu/ because it shows the grub menu but comes back to same error over and over again. I was also terrified of these error because once you get these error you can't use your system, you can't access the net and that's is just not cool.is it ? The reason for grub error 17 is a messed up partition table disk order. How partition table disk order gets messed up I have no idea but it does sometimes and then you get error 17. So what does it mean by a messed up partition table disk order. It means say your drive A was /dev/hda2 earlier now it is /dev/hda3 or something else bottom line for you to know is that you need to fix this to get rid of error 17. A good way to find this out is using a live CD $ sudo fdisk -l You ‘ll get something like (this is only an example) Disk /dev/hda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x247ae615 Device Boot     Start        End     Blocks  Id System /dev/hda1  *          1       1275   10241406   c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2           1276      24320  185108962+  f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5           1276       1397     979902  82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6           1398 Â
says /dev/hda5 is Linux swap and /dev/hda6 Linux Fedora. QtParted says /dev/hda5 is Fedora and hda6 is swap. The swap partition is about a gig and the Fedora partition is about 7.5 gigs. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-92394.html they are both calling the small partition swap - but have different lables https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/245 on it. ALSO when I start QTParted in a terminal console and select "/dev/hda" I get the following message Error: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted! You should e2fsck. Modifying an unclean filesystem could cause severe corruption. Error: Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled. I think that I'll have to solve this part first before I grub error can determine how to configure grub. I just ran GParted Live (the tool I created the partition with) It agrees with fdisk hda6 is 7.5 gigs and Linux - hda5 is about one gig and swap. I still have over 30 gigs of unallocated space on that drive. I'm thinking I may copy the partition then delete the swap partition and the Fedora partition and recreate them. Then grub error 17 copy the copy Fedora back into hda6. ***************************** I determined by using the "rescue" option of the install disk that FC4 thought it was on hda6. So I fixed Ubuntu grub to boot into FC4. After first boot crash I used rescue again to look around in FC4. NOW - rescue thinks FC4 is in hda5!!! can't chroot /mnt/sysimage can't see anything, went back to Ubuntu to research more. So far I hadn't turned the computer off but I when I went to bed. This AM when I rebooted GRUB error 17 - I can't boot into anything but knoppix live. Ran fdisk and QTParted. My partition table is totally screwed. Win2k is still hda1, what used to be hda3 (ubuntu) is now hda2, what used to be hda2 (FAT32 share) is hda4 and so on. Cannot get into the partition that is supposed to be FC4. Did small amount of research - discovered fdisk has a fix partition table feature. Tried that - no discernable effect. Finally got into Ubuntu grub, backed up menu.lst, removed FC4 references, changed main Ubuntu to look for hd0,hda2 instead of hda3, commented out all other Ubuntu references and left Win2k stuff alone -

Please dont look at this post thinking its gonna take forever it wont. Just take your time and follow them correctly. 1. Ok 1st thing you want to do is boot into your LiveCD of Mint. (best to use the same version as the one you are running on your computer)Once everything is loaded and your at the mint desktop. Open the Mint Menu and type "Gparted" into the filter text box.When it loads you should see all the partitons that are on the hard drive. Linux Mint partitions will probaly be EXT4 and the windows partitions will probaly be NTFS. 2. Look at the list of partitons and see what one is the Linux Mint partiton.You can tell this by looking at the Mount Points of the partitons. You should see one with a "/" under Mount Point and its File system will likely be EXT4. When you have located this partition look to the left and see what it is called. For example mine is called dev/sda6 (yours may be something different like dev/sda1 etc)Now that you know what partition is the Linux Mint partition, just leave gparted open so you can look back at it again incase you forget. Now open up a Terminal by clicking the Mint menu then clicking "Terminal" under System. Now we need to mount the Linux Mint partition so that we are able to use it (access it) . To do this copy and paste this code into the terminal sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt You will need to change the XY part of the code to match the name of your Linux Mint partition. For example my mint partition is dev/sda6 so i would change the code to - sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt Now that you edited the line of code to match your mint partiton, go ahead and press Enter on your keyboard then type in your password if your asked for it then press Enter again.(When your entering in your password you will not see any characters, letters numbers etc). It may look as if nothing has happened, but your Linux Mint partition will now be mounted. The terminal will display nothing after the $ sign like it did when you 1st open it. 3. Now we need to tell the computer to reinstall grub2 to the
