About A Day Ago I was installing a linux distro called libranet, and now when I try to boot up on the hard drive, it gives me an error like "GRUB Error 17." So Now i'm working off of a Linux live cd, and really would like to get on windows again. Any Help Will be Appreciated. Smile

Hi there! I would recommend that you download and install a different version of Linux. And use LILO instead of grub. Grub is OK, but LiLO is easier. Once the other version of Linux is installed, you should be able to access the Windows partition on your hardrive, assuming you didn't wipe it. Also, LILO will give you boot options for multi OS machines, and you can actually have both Windows and Linux on the same machine. Even the same harddrive.
