Grub Error 17 · Oct 25, 2007
Note: if this tutorial doesn’t help you, possibly because
fdisk
reports your known Linux partition correctly as Linux, you might also try my Grub Error 13 with Grub Error 17 tutorial.I just had an interesting time with trying to boot into Linux on my PC. Last night, I noticed my
/boot/grub/menu.lst
file had gotten overwritten when I performed some Ubuntu updates. This meant I had to add in configuration to allow Windows to boot, and since I didn’t have a backup of my old, working configuration–mistake number 1–I looked online. I found something that looked like it would work, even though it had Grub’shide
andunhide
commands in the configuration–mistake number 2. I rebooted and successfully got into Windows.
