Okeydokey, I followed the directions you guys gave me, and now when I select the "Linux" option at boot, it hangs with a black screen and a blinking white cursor in the upper left hand corner of the screen. What's going on?
[edit] on a hunch, I booted back into windows and opened up the bootsect.lnx file in notepad. Sure enough, totally blank. Any thoughts as to why this may have happened? Could my reiserfs have something to do with it?
