Just a note about my issue with error 17. I had a USB flash drive plugged in to my PC when I booted and Grub gave me error 17. After spending a little while trying to figure out what was wrong, I finally realized that the flash drive was confusing Grub.
Immediately afterward, I felt kind of stupid that I didn't realize the problem sooner. However, after it sunk in for awhile, I didn't feel so stupid. Grub should be smarter than that. Fact is, you would think that Grub would simply add the flash drive to the list of boot options or ignore it. And how many Ubuntu/Linux noobs will have any clue whatsoever as to what "Error 17" means? Shouldn't this be a bit more descriptive? -- New Error 17 - Dual Boot - Dual HD https://launchpad.net/bugs/17586 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
