    Default Boot problems

    A few months ago I made a partition for gOS, Yesterday I wanted to remove it, so I removed the partition where I had installed it and now when I start my computer it just says "GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... Error 17."

    I think the boot.ini file might have been on the gOS partition, but I'm not sure.

    How would I go about getting onto Windows Vista again?

    Thanks.

    For some reason it said there was nothing preventing windows from starting on the fix windows option.
