I would think we might be able to fix this in a chroot as I instructed here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470597
But that set of commands was specific to that users machine and situation!
So, if you want to try that approach (and have a Live CD handy) I need a bit of info. The easiest way to gather the needed info would be to post the results of the Boot Info Script using a Live CD as described here:
http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
OK, here are the results...... Looks interesting, though it means very little to me.

I have two machines not working:
This one, which I enclose will not open Vista. It is in the GRUB and worked fine until I did an update in 10.4, and now it will not start. Every time I select it from the GRUB menu it reverts to the menu again....
The other for which I will now try and run this, I have the opposite. This install failed just after the download packages as it was starting to install 10.4. As a result it damaged the 9.10 installation. The Kernel is listed but it freezes after start... all version of Ubuntu.
If we can fix the first then if happy can we look at the other machine?
