Solution for windows users when grub loader displays error 17
0 comments Posted by Deepak at 4:12 PMIs the grub loader displaying error 17 or error 22 and not loading any of your OS? Here is the solution for you!!!
The error that tormented me
You can simply follow my previous post. But what if you don't have the windows xp cd?
As an HP customer, I was not provided with windows xp boot cd (I had to copy a windows xp boot from my friend). Instead I was provided only with the recovery cd! So I made a stop gap solution by making a simple boot cd.
Download this file and unzip it. Then follow the procedures in readme.txt.
Another very simple solution is to reinstall Ubuntu :-P!

No more torture with this screen!!!
Insert the XP boot cd.
Press R when prompted, it opens the cd in recovery mode.
Use the following commands:
FIXBOOT C:
FIXMBR
BOOTCFG /rebuild
I noticed that i ended up with a second instance of "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" in the NTLoader when I start up. But that can be corrected by editing the boot.ini file in Windows.
