What I really think, now, is your /etc/fstab has no entries for a Linux partition on /dev/hdaX. If Linux boots, take a peek at fstab and see where Windows is being mounted (should be hda1), and if you have any entries for Linux filesystems on hda. The first linux partition of hda should say something similar to this example: /dev/hda5 /backup reiserfs noatime,rw,user,exec,auto 1 1 What the above line says is that a partition of type reiserfs, named /backup exists at the location 5 on disk hda, and is mounted read and write, by any user, at bootup.
