685062 2008-07-05 23:23:00 hi, i haven't read the whole thread. but you can either fix the master boot record with a windows cd and typing fixmbr at the recovery console. here are some links
pcsupport.about.com
askbobrankin.com
www.tech-recipes.com

or, if you don't have a windows cd you can use MbrFix.exe from here i think, ther are other useful links there too! -
www.users.bigpond.net.au

or probably with supergrubdisk
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/

you can fix grub here -
ubuntuforums.org

it might seem frightening when your computer won't boot, but the fixes aren't too difficult :)

685063 2008-07-05 23:42:00 i had a quick look through the last two pages. the hal error is because the boot.ini is wrong you need to fix that otherwise windows won't be able to boot when you select it.

reinstalling grub will let you boot both windows and ubuntu, and fixmbr will let you boot in to windows only, but only after the boot.ini has been fixed. just do a search for 'default boot.ini' if you need to.
