Hi guys,
I previously had dualboot of Vista and Fedora9, as time passed I began hating vista, and reverted back to XP. So I formatted the vista partition and installed XP. This however removed the Grub boot loader, so I only had XP. I read some posts and figured out how to reinstall the grep using the fedora9 DVD and getting a shell by choosing the system recovery.
However, after doing this, the grep boot loader works fine, and I can change the menu.lst to whatever I want, but I seem to always get this:
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
Mount failed for selinuxfs on /selinux: No such file or directory.
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
I'm not very familiar with the linux world as I've only been using it for about a month or so. So please stupify things for me if possible
I've read a few posts here concerning this exact problem, but I couldn't follow the suggestions (either because I didn't fully understand the explanation or that it didn't solve my problem)
Here are the different screenshots that I thought might be relevant:
Firs of all the the screen I get when it fails to boot:
[BOOT SCREEN NORMAL]

The same end, with silent turned off:
[BOOT SCREEN NONSILENT]

The return of "fdisk -l"
[SCREEN FDISK-l]

The fstab file (which I'm not even sure of its purpose...)
[SCREEN FSTAB]

Finally my menu.lst file:
[SCREEN MENU.LST]

Can anyone spot what the problem might be, and how I could fix it?
