360freak Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 After I wiped my ubuntu hard drive, (one still has windows) it says GRUB Error 17 or something when i boot up, even after GRUB was deleted. how do i get rid of this? how does it even know about GRUB, if GRUB isnt even there?

alloy Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 GRUB is in your MBR use a windows CD to boot up (XP/Vista) For xp, after u boot up to Recovery Console fixboot for vista you can use it wizard to do startup fix. if this does not help it then try this trick Instead of repair, try install vista, all the way next till it ask you to choose which partition to install, now all the way back to start up fix screen to fix it again This action can guarantee a restore of Vista boot manager Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59933-grub-help/#findComment-430598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
