hi
A friend from me wanted to remove gentoo linux from his Computer.He has removed all linux partations.And he also applied with win98 (fdisk /mbr) and with winxp (fixmbr) commands ,but no chance, it still gives this grub error 17
What should we do now? 
| Code: | /dev/hda1 * 1 4153 33358941 c W95 FAT32 (LBA):grub-loader installed into
/dev/hda2 4154 19457 122929380 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 4154 11805 61464658+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda6 11806 19457 61464658+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdb * Linux partations

| 'fixboot' from a win2k/winxp cd should overwrite the boot sector on the partition, IIRC. You've only touched the MBR with the commands you mention. |

thanx a lot. |
Boot from a linux cd, then:
| Code: |
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda count=512
|
Then do your fdisk /mbr |
