ok, so i just wiped out my hd(b/c i screwed it up installing linux) and i installed windows. after i got enough courage to try installing again, i did. i installed the newest version of red hat linux. installation went great everything went as planned. when i tried to reboot and go into windows i get this error:

Windows XP Setup - Missing HAL.DLL

Error Message: Cannot Find \Windows\System32\hal.dll

ouch i say....i screwed it again....well, i went researching on google and i found this site: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_haldll_missing.htm which told me that in a dual boot situation xp might change some lines in the boot.ini and i would get this error. so i said to myself i'll walk on over to /mnt/windows to access windows and solve my problems. well, I COUDLNT FIND /mnt/windows/ ouch i say ouch

after a few more attempts at researching i found this site on google:
http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/toptip3.shtml

i followed its tips, i did "mkdir /mnt/win" and then when i tried to do "mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win" i get this error:
mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /mnt/win busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda1 is mounted on /boot

i read more and i see i hafta use this command instead: "mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/win" but i get this error:
mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel

now, that site up there says if i get more errors try the command "mount" hers the output:
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

now, im wondering...how am i gonna mount to windows and fix my boot.ini...? please help!!!!
