I am running a dual boot system with Windows XP and RH9. I normally run in windows, and my computer was humming along in windows just fine. I heard a beep from the computer when I was in the other room, and walked in to see it had rebooted itself. GRUB then tried to boot Windows, but all I get is GRUB Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. So...I can't boot into windows. Luckily I have linux on the machine, and I fired it up and I can see all the partitions on the machine except that NTFS on that windows sits on. When I try to mount it it gives me an error:
FAT: Bogus logical sector size 1585
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev
03:01.I can mount other NTFS partitions.
Here are the details:
500 MHz Athlon, 256 Mb RAM, 200 GB WD HD, WinXP, RH9 using GRUB.
Here is my partition table:
