[kiraitachi]

Am i got this prob i installed windows in my computers internal hdd and kubuntu in a 1000 gig external hdd and when i start the computer sometimes a error jumps in saying LOADING GRUB 1.5.0
GRUB ERROR 17 sometimes changes the error to GRUB ERROR 21. So wtf what is that sometimes jump some others doesnt and then i can work but this morning that error jumped like 100 times each time i tried to boot until i had the brilliand idea to put linux mint 6 in a live cd and boot it and then restart the computer to see if that way works (i was S H I T T I N G my pants if it didnt XD) so plz help before it jumps again thanks

Well, you are doing some that is only somewhat more advanced than the usual, so you gotta pay some dues and learn some stuff about the GRUB bootloader and how dual booting w/Windows works.

-- Two drives, a Windows drive and a Kubuntu drive, GRUB is in the Windows MBR,
but sometimes you must remove the Kubuntu drive
and Windows won’t boot when you do.


A Super Grub Disk live CD would help you out in a pinch when you can't boot into anything.
