I was uninstalling Ubuntu, and being the idiot I am, I deleted the Partition, expanded the Windows one, and only had the Windows OS running (I was on a dual boot system). I didn't even think about GRUB causing problems. I restarted my computer, and got this:
GRUB Loading stage1.5
GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 17
And that's it, can't do anything from this point. Is there anyway to fix this? I can get iso files off this comp if I need to, and I'm almost positive I have my Vista CDs here (if not here, at college for sure). What's the best way to fix this thing?
