Try this

Log into your system as root and do the following:

The following makes a backup first, in case we make any errors
        # cp -a /etc/inittab /etc/inittab.original

Now we change the file
        # sed -i [EMAIL PROTECTED]:3:initdefault:@id:5:initdefault:@g 
/etc/inittab

Now we check and make sure
        # cat /etc/inittab | grep id | grep initdefault

You should see a line something like the following
        id:5:initdefault:

That should be fine.

Once you reboot your machine, it should come up with GDM instead
of the command line.

Just picking a nit, you do not need to reboot just to go to level 5
- we are running windoze after all.  From the same command prompt
above, just type:
      # init 5
and you will go into initlevel 5 and start the graphical login process.
