Thread: Going bald 'cause of error 17


a while ago installed ubuntu 8.10 on laptop, couple of months until got sick of not being able run usual windows applications , tried reinstall windows xp home (i know, know, it's stupid reason want go windows). after windows refusing install found ubuntu wouldn't work either now, put ubuntu 8.10 disk in , chose reinstall , start fresh again told me not partition. stage getting extremely frustrated , turned off laptop , left couple of weeks. whenever try boot laptop following message after post screen:

grub loading stage1.5


grub loading, please wait...
error 17

error driving me crazy. have tried searching forums solution people running both windows , ubuntu.

, solutions appreciated.

in advance.

try installing ubuntu again, pay particular attention hard disk partitioning part. instead of having shrink drive (to try , co-exist operating system), tell use entire drive. should remove half baked windows or ubuntu installations system.

note, you'll lose data on laptop too, don't if there's vital want it.

if don't manage go, note down error messages , post back. if work, may interested in wine.

keep posted
