    GRUB vista booting error 13

    I had windows vista/longhorn (loader) in my grub menu. I went from hacked vista to official and restored vista to its normal booting thing.


    but now when i pick vista it says resetting boot drive then i get a flash of what looks like code but then vista loaded. so i was like, ok cool it work'd. but now my system freezes when your using it. no cursor movement, caps/shift/numlock control. So i thought it has something to do with grub resetting my HD and it was locking my hd so i edited grub to load just "vista/longhorn" *I only deleted the " (loader)" <see the space>* but now i get error 13 invalad executable or some crap like that....

    i need help on booting vista again like i did when i had vista loader just went right through. Ill post my menu.lst file if you want me to.

    please help me get back into vista

    You could let grub try to automatically update that menu.lst.
    Code:
    $ sudo update-grub
    ...

    Never edit /boot/grub/menu.lst unless you know exactly what you are doing. Anyway, reinstalling grub should fix this problem for you. See the link in my signature.
