|
|
| I am having problems trying to get rid of the grub boot loader on an old dell laptop. Had Mepis on it for a while, now trying to re-install its original OS "win2000". The system wants to halt at the Grub Loading stage, error17.
Can someone please help..
Thanks for any Help..

| Google for info on MBR repair & see if that doesn't help. If you already have M$ on it.
If not, download a copy of delpart, it will clean up ALL stuff on your HD & you can start from scratch then.

Win XP includes a fixmbr command, but since I have never used Win2K, I do not know if the command is included there or not. In Win Xp you can boot the CD then run the recovery console and execute the fixmbr command. If Win 2K does not include that otion, you may be able to run the fdisk /mbr command as found in Win9x using a Win9x boot disk.
You can download an appropriate boot disk from BootDisk-dot-com
