Bean that is going to help A LOT. Thank you very much! We'll test it in next build (tonight or this w/e). Do you think I still need to reduce the depth of the path or can I keep the files in c:\wubi\boot\grub\? Can it handle fragmented kernel/initrd (that would also be very useful since it is difficult to defragment on our side).

To all users that had problems with grldr error 17 please try to download the zip file above, unzip glrdr into c:\, try again and let us know how it goes.

it should be able to handle fragmented files.

Can I send you a beer or a pizza?

Now I think you needn't reduce the depth of the path. And I think Bean will solve all those problems. Just feel free to report bugs.

Is there anything else I can try to get around the Error 17? I've tried 7.04-test2 and I tried one a few days ago that was something else (don't have it recorded and it's since been destroyed). In all cases, I get a File not found on the 'find'.

I pulled down the new grldr for the old installation and that didn't seem to do anything. Contig says that all files in my C:\wubi are continguous except for system.virtual.disk. and I've confirmed that I'm not doing any compression on the drive.

Anything else that I should be trying?

Thanks!

I'll forward to grub4dos devs, in the meantime you can try to move the files up one level, but that is slightly more involved (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...0&postcount=27 ). Anybody else having problems with error 17 with wubi-test2?
