Just as a heads up i reinstalled hardy again... just to make sure there wasn't an error during the re installation... needless to say that didnt work
so here are the results of fdisk -l and menu.lst after the re install.

@ GepettoBR These are the results of geometry (hd0)

Partition number 3 isnt there
haha ya im backing up all 200 gigs onto me extHdd so maybe not completely screwed
@caljohnsmith
im pretty sure i did.. like 98%
the partition table looked like this before
Code:
| [ ][ /dev/sda2 ][ ][ /dev/sda3 ][/dev/sda5}][/dev/sda6] |
| [ 79.5 gb ][ 124.51 GB ][ free ][ 100.59 gb ][ 15gb ][ 2gb ] |
| [ free ][ NTFS ][ ][ NTFS ][ ext3 ][ swap ] |
(im not 100% sure on last 2 sections)
it now looks like this
Code:
| [ /dev/sda2 ][ /dev/sda3 ][/dev/sda5} ][ /dev/sda6 ] |
| [ 124.51 GB ][ 100.59 gb ][ 69.97gb ][ 3.02 gb ] |
| [ NTFS ][ NTFS ][ ext3 ][ swap ] |
i wanted to get rid of that random free spacing spread throughout my comp so i basically moved everything over to the left than wiped the linux portion. after that was done i took all that free space and installed hardy on it..
as for the results.txt. it looks like this
