Re: Grub Error 17

I may be wrong but when I installed Ubuntu with the live cd one of the last things I observed on the nautilus window was that grub was removed.

all the same -
How/where are looking for the /boot/grub directory?

I've just opened a terminal, and typed cd /boot/grub and it appeared
that this dir doesn't exist.

If you are, and don't find it, you need to reinstall grub.

With the LiveCD in, have you tried to reinstall grub?
That might be your best bet.

I reinstalled grub using "sudo apt-get install grub", but it said I
already have the latest version of grub, so I entered synaptic and
marked grub for reinstallation, did the whole thing and I'm still
receiving the same Error 17. =/
I had the same problem on my laptop when I repartitioned the hard disk
there, but this time I was doing that on windows, with Partition
Magic, and the linux distro I was using, was Fedora. Back there, I
just removed Fedora and installed Ubuntu over it. This time I *really*
don't want to reinstall everything from the beginning.
Any other idea?
