Win 2000 won't boot

I don't know how you'd go about installing GRUB, but as far as the
digital pics are concerned, have you tried mounting the Windows
partition?



Try adding:


Code:
--------------------
    /dev/hda1  /mnt/windows  ntfs  ro,fmask=0333,dmask=0222  0  0
--------------------


to your /etc/fstab file.  Make sure to make a back-up copy just in
case.



The /dev/hda1 is, I'm assuming, where your Windows partition is. 
Change it if needed.

The /mnt/windows is wherever you want to mount it.   Change it to where
you want it, but make sure that you mkdir whatever you wanna call it
beforehand.

The ro means it's read-only (use this for now until you're able to boot
up Windows.  Once you can, you may want to create another partition, a
FAT32 partition, to use as a middleman between Linux and Windows.

I'm not sure about the fmask and dmask, nor the 0 0 part.



Also, for your printer this time, add the Universe repository,
reload/update, then install both cupsys-driver-gimpprint and
cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data.  Remove any current printer
configuration, then try adding your HP 5550.  That should clear up the
problem for the driver.
