I origionaly had just windows 2000 pro on my machine but 2 days ago tried to install gentoo, after failing misrably I installed ubuntu. Ubuntu works fine now but my windows partition doesn't even boot at all. I'm getting an error saying NOOSKERNL.EXE is missing or corrupted. Now I don't know if this is something grub screwed up or maybe I screwed up while trying to intall gentoo.
I used the 2000 install disk and went into the repair console, I could see ntoskernl but when I tried to read it (type ntoskernl) it said there was no file or directory. I'm really confused, 2000 said it couldn't even find an install to fix but I still see my file.
Should I just try and copy a kernel from another 2000 computer on a floppy to this one? Is this just a grub problem of finding the kernel?
1 last thing. When ubuntu was installing grub it asked me if it was correct, but it showed windows 2000 pro twice. At the time I didn't think anything of it, but it shows up twice on the boot screen so thats what makes me think it may be a grub problem.
I would really appreciate ANY help seeing as I can't get to my drive from ubuntu for some reason (No drives are under /mnt like slackware, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place) but I need to get my resume off my old windows install for a job interview ASAP.
