i know the HDD is working, i can access it here through bunty,

when i select Windows XP from the menu, it juat says "Starting Up" or whatever it is that...

anyways, the pc boots fine,
it uses the linux drive and used grub to boot,

my question is,...

# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database....
