Dual Boot Linux Mint / Vista
Posted: Tue May 18, 2010 7:44 pm
Was looking for some help regarding an issue that just started up with dual booting between linux mint and Vista.
Linux Mint was installed on seperate partion (x:\) and vista on (c:\). Long story short the x:\ drive was reformatted to NTFS and upon reboot the following error occurs.
GRUB Loadibng stage1.5.
GRUB loading, please wait
Error 17
I've downloaded, UBCD and have been able to go through the menu using Super Grub from the boot management tools and have Vista load to my desktop. What I would like to do is set the mbr back to the default as if Vista was the only OS installed.
Can anyone provide a little guidance on how I can restore the mbr for vista? It appears you can make default through Super GRUB but it didn't have Vista as an option, so I wasn't sure if Windows 2000, XP and 2003 would provide the same functionality and fix it.
thanks,
