well, what i could notice here is that the DOS filesystem is set to be searched at (hd0,0) and that's the first hdisk mbr, and i thing DOS is actually located in (hd0,1) first data part of the first HD.. but now you say that you cant even boot linux, what you can do is at the grub screen, at the command prompt (i dont remember the command to get there) you type:

rootnoverify (hd0,1) (enter)
chainloader +1 (enter)

and that should get you to boot windows... i think that the commands are correct, as soon as i reboot my system i will re-check, and post any corrections here, but what you should do is change the grub.conf or lilo.conf under
itle DOS
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
to
rootnoverify (hd0,1)

.... please anyone let me know if im wrong... well thankz... hope it helps

grub starts counting disks AND partitions at 0, so (hd0,0) is correct, to specify the wholedisk(ie the mbr) you just remove the partition so its (hd0).

Everything that talon posted, would be true in my case, with minor differences. 40 gb drive as opposed to 15.

Talon contacted me on another post because we were having exactly the same issue.

K what error message, if any, do you get when you boot your machine now?

how about ' #modprobe ntfs ' and mount win-stuff ' mount -t ntfs /dev/hd?? /win-stuff ?

Your first hint did it.

It worked fine, the computer accepted a DOS bootdisk and the rest was the usual way. A really good feeling to see the DOS command prompt, a familiar environment. ;)

Thanks for your efforts.

I had experienced the same prob
 

Well dude all you have to do is try editing the grub config file by pressing e when you get the boot prompt and then try to make it hd1,0 instead of hd0 it worked for me...
cheers
