# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda1
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.35
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img

I think if you change this: rootnoverify (hd0,4), to this: rootnoverify (hd0,3)
I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

You have installed Linux after Windows. Why did you create partitions for Linux before Windows Partition? Your Windows OS has been messed up. Try to fix Windows first. Boot up from SuperGRUB CD and select 'Fix Windows Boot Loader' option from List.
Does Windows OS boot up after fixing its Boot Loader?It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
