/wubi/linux error 17

[Zsedcft]

I installed wubi today, but when I select Ubuntu at the OS selection screen, it breaks at this line:
find --set-root /wubi/linux

and gives me error 17 cannot find file.

I checked the menu.lst file and everything matches up with the actual files. How would I go about fixing this?

Do you tried to defragment your hard drive...
Error 17 means in most times, that the grub didn't find the kernel... kernel have to be in one piece..
Windows have this habit, to make hdd look like swiss cheese ... free space holes everywhere

This is a known issue with grub, we are working on fixing it. It happens when the bootloader does not find the hard disk were wubi folder is. Try to move the wubi folder on your 1st partition.

Do you mean move it to a different location on the first partition or move it from one partition to the first partition? I only have one partition. Would RAID settings effect this at all?

I meant to move it from a partition to another.
The boot mechanism does not mix well with RAID setups. Do you have one ?
If yes give us details.

I have 2+0 Stripe / RAID 0.

Our bootloader Grub does not work with stripped RAID.

Roger that. Will it ever work sometime in the future?

We can only control the initrd section, but grub (grldr to be precise) has to load it up first. If grldr cannot see a drive for any reason (generally raid or fragmented kernel/initrd), there is little we can do. You can lobby the grldr developers though

You can use contig for that, i thought using it at the end of install process, but the company who made it has been recently bought by MS :
