I found all my windows folders/system files(I use win xp) in a folder called /mnt/nt My question is how do I get my computer to boot windows instead of linux, I can't get into windows, and I don't know how to do anything in linux(which I am currently in)! Can someone give me a step by step way of getting my pc to boot windows instead of linux. BTW, I have linux mandrake 9.0 installed.
you should have a boot up screen when you turn your machine on, which will give you a list of options to boot to. is windows not listed among these? if not, copy the contents of /etc/lilo.conf here, and we'll have a look...
ok, so there's the NT entry at the end yeah? is this not visible in your list? on thing you can do in mandrake is (as root) run the command "rebootin NT" and that should reboot the machine straight to NT.

I wish it was that simple, but that's where the problem comes in when I select NT. I get a message that states system32/hal.dll is missing or corrupted.
