I have windows vista on my laptop and i wanted ubuntu 7.10 on it so i partitioned the 80gb hdd into a 10gb and a 70gb, and i set up a dual boot. So i install ubuntu onto the 10gb partition successfully. But after a while needed those 10gb's back so i went into windows vista and i formated the 10gb partition just as storate. Yes windows gave me the little warning, "this partition contains data that may be recognized by other operating systems". So i formatted and have a 70gb and a 10gb hard drive both in windows vista. Then i try to restart and i get the GRUB loading, please wait.....error 17 message. Before, i was able to choose between booting up vista or ubuntu. And when i formatted the 10gb partition i expected to just automatically boot into vista when i turn on the computer. But now i get the error message. I kinda need to get back into vista because i have a lot of homework etc. saved on there.
