Hi all,
I have one 80 GB HDD which has Windows XPSP2 (NTFS based) & Ubuntu
6.06 upgraded to Ubuntu 6.10 (ext2). It had GNU GRUB 0.97 running
underneath it all. Everything was running fine & suddenly yesterday it
gave me error 17. Looking in Grub Legacy came to know tht error 17 means :-
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Stage1_002e5-errors
17 : Cannot mount selected partition
This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the
filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.
Now in such should I re-install everything or is there some sorta hack
which can make it good without re-installing the whole thing.
You should run fsck with some options from a live cd, try to boot and if
it does not work reinstall grub again. (You can use Super Grub Disk (
http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org ) to reinstall it or follow some
live cd instructions for reinstalling grub that are available in the
internet))
