I am very new to Linux. I recently received the infamous Grub Error 17 at Grub Stage 1.5. I tried booting from the LiveCD Knoppix to find the following in fdisk and the grub menu.lst:
root@Knoppix:/media/hda1# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 2096 MB, 2096898048 bytes

/dev/hda4 * 1 1 0 0 Empty
Partition 4 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(0, 0, 0) logical=(0, 0, 1)
Partition 4 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(0, 0, 0) logical=(1065748, 46, 4)
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.

What should I do?
