Hello everybody!
I have a really serious problem. I don't know how to do anymore. I really hope that someone could help me!!!

I had Windows in my NFTS partition and than I decided to install Linux, Ubuntu version. So I created another partition in order to install it.
But since I installed Linux, i cannot boot windows anymore!
If I try to boot Windows in the grub, what I have is a blinking cursor on the top on the left in my screen (i have than to restart my computer...). In my grub (that i wrote even here) everything seems to be good:

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian
# ones.
title Other operating systems:
root


# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
# on /dev/hda1
title Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1

In fact i have my windows partition in hda1, so the command is right.

I can see my windows partition from linux (i used the command mount), but of course I can only read those files.

I tried even with rootnoverify instead of root, and i even try without makeactive or chainloaer, and all the possible combinations, but nothing happened.

Linux is working without problems, but i don't know how to do to have my Windows again. Even because if I try to put the Windows installation CD, it doesn't work.
In fact if it starts form CD, it says “Verifying the hardware configuration...” and than it stops without saying nothing (just black screen). So i don't know even how to reinstall windows.

If this can help, this is my hard disk configuration (I used the command sudo fdisk /dev/had) :

Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 116280 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

I hope there is someone that had my same problem and can help me...

Thanks a lot!!!
