First of all, big salute to everyone, great minds here. :)
So...
After a couple of years of ubuntu I've decided to go back to XP for good, and also free some space on my HDD...
In the XP's disk menagment I've deleted the swap and ext3 partitions (they were on a different HDD than the XP's), but when I've started formatting the ext3, at 3% I've got the blue screen of death (ati2dvag, dumping memory... usual stuff on my XP machine, it's an unrisolvable problem with my graphics card)
But, after rebooting I've got:
GRUB 1.5, error 17
(the error seems pretty frequent here, searched a lot, but still I couldn't solve it... I've tried everything...
- reinstalling ubuntu, booting from the live cd = no results, everytime the recovery console pops up...
- XP installation cd = recovery console wont start, says there is no hard disk...
- I've got every usb storage device off
Maybe should I try restarting bios?
Please help, any thoughts...?
Cheers! :popcorn:
