Cant' boot windows

[Dpaulson]

I recently installed linux and now cannot boot my vista partition, I have no idea what to do about menu.lst, all the guides I have gone with dont work. im pretty sure I still have vista because when I enter the command fdisk -l I get:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 12725 102209520 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 18144 19457 10554705 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 12726 18143 43520085 83 Linux

any help would be great

This may help: Dual booting Vista and Ubuntu (Vista installed first) (http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_f irst.htm)

If I remember correctly (and this is just from memory when I was tri-booting XP/Vista/Ubunutu), GRUB will happily be able to boot between the two. It's just a matter of specifying the correct partition that Vista resides on.

Output your menu list from a Terminal:

cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

Nera the bottom you should see mention of Windows.

Could you post the entries in your /boot/grub/menu.lst.
