Bug Description
Installed Ubuntu linux 5.10 for i386 on IBM thinkpad R40. At end of
install, GRUB identified Windows XP Pro as other OS present and
asked if I wanted in install the Grub bootloader on the boot
sector. When I rebooted the system I received a "GRUB 1.5 error 17"
message and everything stopped.
Serious error since I couldn't get either OS to boot and I ended up
deleting both OS's, formatting the harddrive and reinstalling
windows XP pro.

On what kind of partition did you install /boot?
