ubuntu partition. How do I fix this? Okay, up until recently, I had ubuntu and xp on my dual-boot computer. When it would start up, it would allow me to pick ubuntu or xp. I had Ubuntu on one partition and xp on another. I kind of got bored of ubuntu and went and deleted the partition holding it. Now, when I turn on my computer, I get this grub 17 error. How do I get my computer to automatically boot to xp again?
