Help Configure GRUB
NESnerd:
Because I'm on a different computer right now! ;)
Yeah, well I hadn't been on that computer in a while, so I hadn't really noticed the bad f key anyway.
But yeah, so I did that, and now, when I go to Windows...it reboots my machine. :-/ I must be stupid or something.

Can you copy/paste your grub.conf file into a message on this forum. And can you also copy/paste the output from this command:
/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hda
The above command should be run as root and the "-l" is a lower case "L".

I'm sorry, but as of now I cannot. It's on a seperate computer that doesn't have access to the internet on, and I tried to use a floppy to put something on there, and I don't know what happened. But I went in from a boot disk into DOS, and I can't see any of my files on my C drive now, and I don't know what that's from. I sure hope I didn't lose all my work though. That would freak me out.
voidmain:
What version of Windows is on your drive, and what file system are you running it on? i.e. FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS? If it's FAT32 or NTFS you will not be able to see anything on your C: drive from a "DOS" boot floppy, you'll need to boot from a floppy with FAT32 or NTFS support. If it's FAT32 you can always mount the Windows partition from your Linux side and view your files.
You can copy/paste the info I asked for into a file and copy it to a DOS formatted floppy, then move to your other machine and paste it into a message. Or if the machines are near each other just type in the info, it's not that much.
NESnerd:
It's a Win98 boot disk, I had been able to see my files there before.
I tried using a floppy, but I was dumb and frustrated.
My current concern is getting back into Windows, for now...
I think I mounted my other hard drive on accident, except it's talking about like a 'hdf', which I had seen earlier, like it didn't refer to it as hda like I would have thought. Anyway, I don't know if it did or not, but if it did and I didn't unmount it, I suppose that could be bad?
