alienG is still having a problem:
Hi. Thank you for your translations from Linux to Windows language. It
is quite a job to switch to another system. I have to learn a lot, and
from the very start. I didn't even see yet a selection menu for
different OS boot. From last post I have some changes. I tried to fix
booting with Super Grub Disk from CD. Tried auto fix of both, linux and
windows, and it didn't fix anything, then I started trying other options
and probably messed up more. Then deleted linux partitions and started
reinstalling Ubuntu again, then it said there is an error on CD.
Reburned it at  the lowest speed. Installed. I did some readings on
google. Tried to go to Grub from Live CD and fix it. Cant find anything
in Grub. root (h0,0) disk not found. Boot/grub not there. From Super
Grub Disk I get error 15. Finaly I got boot_info_script032.sh and here
it is what I have now. Going to sleep now. Tomorrow is day 4 :}. I am
going to print and read your post several times, Tom. I have to change
my faith from Win to Lin. It is pretty hard.   Here is what the
boot_info gave me:

# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and

#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.

# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).

## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
##      kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
##      kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=9e9cd019-3501-449f-9cc6-01865e03e731 ro

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=9e9cd019-3501-449f-9cc6-01865e03e731

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
##      alternative=false
# alternative=true

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
##      lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash

## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
##      lockold=true
# lockold=false

## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=

## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0

## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
##      altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
##      howmany=7
# howmany=all

## specify if running in Xen domU or have grub detect automatically
## update-grub will ignore non-xen kernels when running in domU and vice versa
## e.g. indomU=detect
##      indomU=true
##      indomU=false
# indomU=detect

## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
##      memtest86=false
# memtest86=true

## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false

## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
# savedefault=false

## ## End Default Options ##
