Grub question.
I had a windows/SUSE laptop. I used a liveCD and fdisk to remove my SUSE partitions so I would have free space for Ubuntu 6.10. Now I realize that grub is installed on my windows partition, and it gives me ERROR 22. Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

Error 22 means that GRUB cannot find the partition for its default OS. Since you removed the SuSE partition, GRUB obviously can't load that OS. Just boot to your Ubuntu CD and create your new partition and install Ubuntu. When you're finished, a new GRUB will be installed on the MBR (master boot record) of the hard drive with Ubuntu's entries and Windows (if you still have Windows on the system).

Luck!
