* grub says> hd0,5
* grub>quit
* mount the disk via the file browser (click it)
Are the Ubuntu partitions still there and working, Yishay?
Try booting into a Live CD and see... there should be three I believe;
one for swap, one for boot and one for the rest.
If they are your issue is probably that the grub.lst now refers to the
wrong partition... if it's a dual boot I'd expe
I got an error 17 after re-partitioning. I can't guarantee that this is
the case on yours but mine was because the number of the partition with
ubuntu on changed becasue of the partitioning (according to the info I
read error 17 means it can't find the operating system). Because the

I'm stuck with two Ubuntu laptops which won't boot (well, they boot windows
- just to make add insult). On one, I had a power failure mid-upgrade and
lost home, on the other someone tried re-partitioning with PratitionMag

I agree, Alan.
My first distro was actually Lycoris (formerly Redmond Linux) which
was one of the first attempts to make a "Windows-esque distro"... soon
my near neighbour Martin "Santa Claus" Wheeler was on my doorstep with
