never mind. windows is gone. i'll just stay in linux. must be fate.
It's gone? do you mean you formated the partition?
Otherwise editing the file /boot/grub/menu.1st and adding this should do the trick.
(where it says [TAB] it indicates that you should indent with a TAB)
and BTW you can ofcourse use any title I just assumed it was Windows XP you had on the drive

i got linux on the windows drive. windows is back now and as soon as all drivers are installed i'll install linux again. this has to be how not to do a windows/linux install.
