When we partitioned the hard drive I don't remember moving any of the windows boot files anywhere. Thanks.

Which commands?
I think we just needed to see the contents of 2 files on your hard drive. The first lives at /boot/grub/grub.conf, the second lives at /etc/fstab.
You should be able to read these files, but may need to be root if the permissions on the files are not set to allow regular users to read them.
What do you see when you type the following in a terminal?
ls -la /boot/grub/grub.conf
and
ls -la /etc/fstab
Good luck!

I'm sure a personal visit wouldn't be necessary; this is probably something solvable on the list. Can you post the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/fstab files to the list?
