I cannot boot into my windows partition because it says unexecutable format or something like that and I cannot boot into linux because it keeps giving me a parition error. On top of all that the screen is all screwed up for some stupid reaosn. This is really pissing me off.

I manually installed grub and had no errors as well.

Here is my grub.conf

Code:
default 1
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r6
root (hd1,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hdb3 vga=0x31B # also tried putting (1,0) before kernel

title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


FStab:
Code:
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext3 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdb3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hdb2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0


Please help :'( I got it working on my laptop but for some reason even typing it the same way minus the drive numbers it refuses to work on my desktop. I have a Radeon 9800 Pro if that helps with the grpahicical screw ups. Oh and this is about my 100th attempt to get it working on my desktop.

Your grub file looks just fine to me...so can you post the exact error messages you are getting when trying to boot either OS? I don't really know jack about windows, but the only thing I can think of to keep linux from booting is if you don't have ext3 filesystem built in to your kernel (not a module).

Exact error messages might help here...
