I forgot about this trick and spent a lot of time chasing my own tail. This was a big help, thanks.

Thanks Man,

You saved my life. Its just brilliant. I was searching the forums on grub and it did not work, but this small change played the trick,

A hundred thanks to you again....

Steve,

Try removing the map lines.

I used to get the CTL-ALT-DEL message until this post saved me. Maybe reversing the process will save you.

I used this and it worked fine. After using it for about a year, I deleted a great deal of data from the Windows drive. After this I defragmented my hard drive. All of this was done by just booting to Windows at the grub menu. It now says it will not mount the windows drive when rebooting and gives instructions to Ctrl+Alt+Dlt. Any idea what I have done and how to fix it?

I have linux on my pc now. If I repartition the drive with Partition Magic, can I have linux on one partition and Windows on the other? What would I need to change with grub?

Thanks!
