## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified

## 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=0d88dac8-d4b8-4b3b-9ddd-2deaf9c03785 ro

## Setup crashdump menu entries
## e.g. crashdump=1
# crashdump=0

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,2)

## 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

## 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

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

In a terminal do ;
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Add the blocks of text below the ------, below this line: ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
Also you should change your default timeout section to 10
Example;

## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 10

Save and exit, Then you should have a windows entry in your grub menu.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Copy all below this line----

# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian
# ones.
title Other operating systems:
root

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
# on /dev/sda1
title Windows NT/2000/XP
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1

OK, we're getting closer. Now when it boots I can press ESC to reach the menu. I select the windows option and it flashes extremely quickly something about windows 95 (I'm running windows XP) and then it goes to some sort of test utility where you can select different diagnostics. Thats as far as it will go, if you close it, it just reboots. At least its recognizing something windows now. I think I should point out that when it starts to boot to windows I can see it loading all of these control files for the mouse and such.

Thanks again for the continuing and very quick help, i really appreciate it.

Thanks ex-xp64, I totally missed that 0

THANK YOU. you guys are my heroes. windows isn't nearly as good, but i didn't want to lose everything

thanks again

Thanks ex-xp64, that solved my question.
