(^_^)Charles,

(^_^)You'll get a lot farther, faster, if you confirm your device.map and try 
(^_^)booting with the repaired fstab & menu.lst I posted. AFAIK, "/dev/sda,7" 
is 
(^_^)not valid anywhere... it is inconsistent with *nix device 'notation' 
(^_^)(i.e. "/dev/sda7"... no comma) as well as inconsistent with grub's 
'notation' 
(^_^)(i.e. "(hd0,6)" in 'grub-speak' is the first hard drive, seventh 
partition, 
(^_^)since grub starts counting at zero.)

(^_^)hth & regards,

Ok, just throwing that out there because someone else brought that up
earlier and I have seen it in my travels to different sites I have
visited. Well, guess I better get back on the road. :-)
