Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘grub error 17’

So…I’m very familiar with Linux and I’m a big fan. But the one problem I always had was the installation. When I get Linux, I have to use Wubi, because I don’t trust GRUB. When I did a normal install of Ubuntu 8.04, I got GRUB error 17…and couldn’t boot Vista. I’m not willing to give up Windows, I want to dual boot. Here were the steps I did to installing:

1. Shrunk the main hard disk and made a new simple volume out of it
2. Got my Live CD, booted it up and installed 8.10 on the new partition
3. When it finished, I couldn’t boot Windows! GRUB error. so i had to restore my pc to factory setting using a recovery cd

Here’s my question now: Since I have Windows 7 now, and Ubuntu 9.10 has some changes, will I still have all the boot problems, or should I just forget it and use Wubi?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

PS: My specs are a NEW sony vaio vgn-ns laptop running windows 7 ultimate, 3 GB ram, 250 GB hard drive
