I've retitled the thread. If you have a new question, you should start a
new thread. Anyway, your Windows signature block probably got messed up
somehow and it needs to be repaired. I put my notes on how to do that
below. I don't know if you will be able to follow them. It's hard. You
might need sighted assistance. I've repaired dozens of Windows installs
this way but sometimes I have to try 3 or 4 times before I get the
timing right.
1. Boot from a Windows installation disk.
2. After the system boots, press the enter key, then Alt+R
*Windows will scan at this point for problems, takes about 1-2 min*
3. Press the tab key, then the Enter key.
4. Reboot.
You can also back up the Windows signature file before starting the dual
boot install. It's too late for you to do that now and it isn't usually
necessary anyway. If your linux install crashes for some reason, it is
nice to have a backup of the Windows signature file. To back up the
signature, boot from a live disk like grml and do this:
dd if=${WINDOWS_BOOT_DEVICE} of=${WINDOWS_SIGNATURE_FILE} ibs=1 skip=440
count=4
You'll have to set the values of WINDOWS_BOOT_DEVICE and
WINDOWS_SIGNATURE_FILE to something appropriate for your needs. To
restore it:
dd if=${WINDOWS_SIGNATURE_FILE} of=${WINDOWS_BOOT_DEVICE} obs=1 seek=440
count=4

Hi!
I have a similar problem.
I can boot vinux just fine but when booting windows evrything after rebooting from windows wont work.
I guess this is due to damages on the harddisk.

I have a machine which is dual-boot with Vinux and Windows 7. When I try
to boot the boot screen appears, but grub will not respond to any
keystrokes or mouse movements. The USB devices are not activated, as
they should be. There is no starting beep. It just sits there. How can I
deal with this situation?
Thanks,
John
