Can't dualboot!!! (help please)

If your Windows are on hda3 then make this change:

title Windows at hda3
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
chainloader +1

If that don't work post your /etc/fstab so we can take a look, or tell us what drive your windows is on.

If you have only one physical hard drive in the system, this is not looking good.

Did you use the "automatic installation" option after clicking "Install Me"?

Conor, I'm sorry but we don't see any Windows, if you only want to use Linux there is nothing to do, but if you want to duel boot Windows and Linux we can help you get started, it's not hard to do. Let us know where you want to go from here.

that sucks.. are all my window files gone or can i find them? i hope so, i have my resime on their Please help!!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

If you installed MEPIS--or any Linux distribution, for that matter--and did not backup your c:\windows directory, or explicitly install to a separate partition on the hard drive; it is unlikely that the contents of that directory survived the repartitioning and formatting of your hard drive, in preparation for the Operating System installation.

The same can generally be said for an installation of windows, unless you purposefully choose a parallel installation to a differently-named c:\windows directory. In most cases, a new installation or reinstallation of windows will repartition and format the drive.

Expect your data to be completely gone.

With that said, you may be able to recover some data; although I consider it to be a remote possibility, by attempting a testdisk partition recovery.

Best of luck to you.
