Hello, well as usual I had to reinstall windows to repair some problems, fortunately I don't have to use it much anymore.
Unfortunately I had to delete the partition that windows was located on and then reload windows. Upon restart I noticed that Grub was missing and my computer booted directly in to windows. So I booted up my Ubuntu live 7.04 cd and after a little research I found and downloaded "Super Grub". This nice tool easily restored my Grub boot menu and I thought that I was home free, so I verified that I could boot into windows but I found that when I tried to boot into Ubuntu the following message appeared "root hd0,3 file system type unknown Error 17".
So I am hoping that after reviewing the information below someone might be able to help me get my beloved ubuntu up and running again.
