Re: Grub error 17 Vista/Linux So actually this is a vista question, Anyway, Found this for you : Try to boot with vista cd , select repair/ recovery whatsoever (I don't boot vista,) then in "dos"/cmd" C:\> mbrfix64.exe /drive 0 fixmbr /vista /yes This wil get your vista bootloader back. if you don't have vista cd try this link. http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/downlo...isc//#more-558 Good luck. When your thread it solved: go to thread tools > Mark this thread as solved for SIS 771/671 use xcompmgr to have transparent terminals. just load it at startup. And then they asked: what's a pbkac error? Adv Reply Quick Navigation Installation & Upgrades Top Site Areas Settings Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online

Hello jlbethuram, welcome to the Forums. Grub error 17 occurs when Grub does not recognise the filesystem on the partition it is directed at; e.g. if it's ntfs. Is this the situation: you had vista on a drive and installed openSUSE off of a live DVD onto the drive in a multiboot with vista?

E
had it install Grub so I could boot between the two. After playing games on Vista, I rebooted to do some work in Ubuntu. The machine wouldn't boot due to Grub error 17, but after doing something stupid it booted just fine. http://iknowkungfoo.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/6/16/Stupid-solution-for-Grub-error-17 The ProblemSo, I tell Vista to restart so I can load up Ubuntu. When I should get the Grub menu that lets me choose between Vista and Ubuntu, instead I got this error message: view plain copy to clipboard print about ColdFISH https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/another-grub-error-17-problem-377477/ is developed by Jason Delmore.

Then I found this post that explains how to reinstall Grub from a Live CD to fix the error.I booted up the Ubuntu Live CD, getting ready to reinstall Grub (2nd link). Something oddWhen the Live CD loaded, I noticed my external USB hard drive was mounted on the desktop. I remembered one this post from the 1st link:"In my case, I have three SATA hard disks.
My BIOS sees them as: HDD1 - 80 grub error 17 GB - Windows HDD2 - 80 GB - Linux HDD3 - 250 GB - MediaLinux sees them as: /dev/sda - 80 GB - Windows /dev/sdb - 250 GB - Media /dev/sdc - 80 GB - LinuxSo it generated device.map assuming that order was correct, i.e.: (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb (hd2) /dev/sdcWhen the installer installed GRUB using that data, it tried to install the first part of GRUB on /dev/sda and told it to look for the OS on /dev/sdc. Unfortunately, this translated to "install on (hd0) then look for the OS on (hd2)", so it was looking for the OS on the wrong drive."So one cause of Grub error 17 is the order in which Linux mounts hard drives vs. the mount point where Grub expects to find Linux.The Stupid SolutionI unmounted the external hard drive, then turned it off. I rebooted the computer and a few seconds later BAM! there's the Grub Menu. Views: 64097 | Comments: 7 | Print | Comments (Comment Moderation is enabled. Your comment will not appear until approved.)
