reinstall windows. maybe that would do something.
as for getting your windows files from linux, you need to do this:
open a terminal. it sounds like you're using kde so you should be able to get one somewhere on the k-menu or on the taskbar.
when you get a terminal do this:
<b>su</b>
it will prompt you for the root password, so type it in. then do
<b>mkdir /windows</b>
<b>mount /dev/hda1 /windows</b>
<b>cd /windows</b>
<b>ls</b>
this should list all of your windows files. if it doesn't, installation of linux might have messed up you windows partition, or something like that.
you can take one of two approaches now. first, you can copy the entire contents of your windows partition to /usr/win like this:
<b>cp /windows /usr/win</b>
or you can just copy whichever files you want
<b>mkdir /usr/win</b> (do this only once)
<b>cp /windows/<i>path&filename</i> /usr/windows</b> (do this for each folder/file)
have a lot of fun...
okay,

installgrub
installgrub(1M) installgrub(1M)
NAME
installgrub - install GRUB in a disk partition or a floppy
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/installgrub [-fm] stage1 stage2 raw-device
The installgrub command is an -only program. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader.
installgrub installs GRUB stage 1 and stage 2 files on the boot area of a disk partition. If you specify the -m option, installgrub
installs the stage 1 file on the master boot sector of the disk.
The installgrub command accepts the following options:
-f
Suppresses interaction when overwriting the master boot sector.
-m
Installs GRUB stage1 on the master boot sector interactively.
The installgrub command accepts the following operands:
stage1
The name of the GRUB stage 1 file.
stage2
The name of the GRUB stage 2 file.
raw-device
The name of the device onto which GRUB code is to be installed. It must be a character device that is readable and writable. For disk
devices, specify the slice where the GRUB menu file is located. (For Solaris it is the root slice.) For a floppy disk, it is
/dev/rdiskette.
Example 1: Installing GRUB on a Hard Disk Slice
The following command installs GRUB on a system where the root slice is c0d0s0:
example# /sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1
/boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
Example 2: Installing GRUB on a Floppy
The following command installs GRUB on a formatted floppy:
example# mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt
# mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub
# cp /boot/grub/* /mnt/boot/grub
# umount /mnt
# cd /boot/grub
# /sbin/installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/rdiskette
/boot/grub
Directory where GRUB files reside.

boot(1M), fdisk(1M), fmthard(1M), kernel(1M), attributes(5)
Installing GRUB on the master boot sector (-m option) overrides any boot manager currently installed on the machine. The system will always
boot the GRUB in the Solaris partition regardless of which fdisk partition is active.
