DistroUbuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus Re: GRUB Loading stage1.5. Error 17 That error is from grub legacy, which I have not dealt with since 9.10 or there abouts. Grub2 has been the standard since 2009. A few kept it and it may still be in the repository of some of the current versions. What version of Ubuntu are you running? If not a current version then repositories are closed and you need to reinstall a current version. If current Ubuntu better to upgrade to current grub2. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases For more info on UEFI boot install & repair - Regularly Updated : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 Please use Thread Tools above first post to change to [Solved] when/if answered completely.

GRUB loading, please wait.... Some others here have had similar problems, but they usually have an Error code as well. My problem is that I get: GRUB Loading Stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait.... _ with the last underscore here being a flashing cursor. I just stays here ( Not hung I suspect because the cursor line is flashing ). I can access and read/write all my files on the hard drive, so that seems fine. I have through 'console' mode only, installed what I believe is a suitable video driver for linux and in particular - PCLinuxOS 2009 distro. I have tried various ways to recover the MBR and re-issue grub-install and though all outcomes suggest things have proceeded OK, I still only get this..
