Your error is also in file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". So how to get this
file to Windows?
- create directory: mkdir /mnt/WindowsD
-to file "/etc/fstab" add line:
/dev/hda2 /mnt/WindowsD vfat defaults 0 0
-and run command:
mount /mnt/WindowsD
Like this you'll mount windows particion /dev/hda2 on
directory /mnt/WindowsD. Maybe you'll need to change vfat option (fs
type) or particion number.
Copy file to windows partition:
cp /var/log/xxxx /mnt/WindowsD
and reboot to Windows.
Good luck.
