Default Re: My windows is not working after installing ubuntu 7.04

my boot.ini contents are

Quote:
[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOW S

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

C:\ = "Unidentified operating system on drive C."
yaar before installing ubuntu the configuration was

Freedos was on c: drive and c was primary partition
Windows xp was on e: drive

In grub menu i get like this

Ubuntu kernal 2.xxx
ubuntu some mode
ubuntu kernal 2.xxx
memtest+
freedos


So when we select freedos then it displays two options
windows xp
and
freedos

Now freedos is working properly
only problem is with windows xp...it says hal.dll file corrupted or missing

I have checked in e: drive in e:\windows\system32 hal.dll is present there...
then why xp is giving this error

fdisk -l shows this
