Try passing grub the vga parameter. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add vga=794 to the kernel line. If vga=794 does not work here is a table of vga values to try:

We need more information about the partition problem. Could you post the output from this command:

fdisk -l

Could you post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst

What program are you trying to use to play .dat,.wmv, etc.? What error message are you getting when you try to play them?
