It looks to me like grub is trying to load your Windows partition here.

Usually Windows very much likes to be installed at the first partition on the first harddisk. In your case that seems to be /dev/hda1, which would mean your root is not at that place. Are you sure your Linux root is located at /dev/hda1? -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: keyserver.net ID 0x1735C5C2 "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill
