I have 3 hard drives, two of them are NTFS for windows and the other is dedicated to Linux. At the install of Xandros it detected windows and asked me if I wanted to keep it and I choose yes. I made sure that linux was also going to the right drive. Xandros installed fine and works great, but at the boot loader screen when given the option to pick windows, I pick it and I get nothing but a black screen with a white bar(-) in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Can anyone help me figure out why windows will not boot up?

Code: cd /boot/grub less device.map less menu.lst fdisk -l __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First
