problems with grub


Hello,

sorry for my english - I'm from germany...
I have some problems with the grub bootloader.

My system:
Sata1 (sda) = WinXP
Sata2 (sdb) = Ubuntu

After installing ubuntu on sdb (sata 2) and rebboting the pc (bios boot order: sda), I get the following message
State 1.5.
Grub loading... Please wait...
Error 17




By using the Super-Grup-CD anything is alright. That means, I could start both Systems (WinXP and UBUNTU)

Reinstalling grub (with recheck) didn't solve the problem.

Windows-Console and Fixmbr => Grub is deinstalled and Windows is booting...

What's the problem???

menu.lst:




## default num


# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and


# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.


#


# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry


# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.


# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your


# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.


default 0





## timeout sec


# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry


# (normally the first entry defined).


timeout 10
