Hello ubuntu users,
I have a problem running ubuntu.
I have 3 hdd's
1) 160 Gig
2) 200 Gig
3) 640 Gig
On the first one i have windows installed, whit some partitions.
On the second one i have ubuntu installed.
The last one is just data hdd.
I wanted to boot my computer to windows, it was crap, why i don know i get a bleu screen every time i restart my computer.
I wanted to boot linux, did not boot.
Installed ubuntu again but i got an error, grub error 17.
I have read that you need to set the hdd to auto and not large, lost the name of the setting, you need to set it into the bios.
All the settings are good.
Now i also read something about the hdd's and ubuntu, it does not know how to boot?
Now i still have my error and i am trying from Saturday.
I am out of hope and want to ask for help.
i am running he lice CD now.
opend terminal and here is some output:
fdisk -l:
