Just got through the problem... of Error 17 It happens when we partition or repartition the hard drive which causes its addresses like (hd0,1) to become (hd0,2), etc. That is we create 1 more partition before the partition in which grub exists... leading to grub not working.
This can be solved by terminal entries: sudo grub <We are now in GRUB> find /boot/grub/stage1 <We get the address of HDD partition where grub is located, e.g. (hd0,3)> root (hd0,3) <making grub to boot from this location> setup (hd0) <this will set the new grub loader settings in MBR> quit Thats it. Reboot. GRUB is fine now... There will be problems relating to OS not booting. Solve this by pressing e to edit there location < like (hd0,1)> This will be based on the no. of partitions & where u installed a particular OS. Once u get to know the respective addresses on HDD for each OS, edit Menu.lst file and change the addresses to the new addresses u just found. Open menu.lst by typing this in terminal sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst Thats it. Problems solved... However i still wanna know whether we can use bitlocker with ubuntu or not..... -- Grub loader error 17 dual boot vista ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
