i tried what that had to say and no luck

i've tried mandrake 10 and knoppix and they also get this same error, its really disappointing as i thought linux would be better than windows but at the moment its causing more headaches than linux

hi
ur grub.conf will help us
also the output of
"fdisk-l"

understanding whether ur file vmlinuz,initrd etc are mapped accordingly or not
u can get the these by booting into rescue mode with ur linux distro 1st CD
then

#chroot /mnt/sysimage

and then try out the above coommands

vi /etc/grub.conf

fdisk -l
