Ok, no you did not offend me.
Do you get a list of get Os's and the error 29 after you select one? Or does error 29 show up immediately on boot?
Also make a backup of your current config as well before you mess with it too much.

Error 29 sounds like it is usually a disk write error. try removing the "savedefault" lines from your conf.
alternatively you could try using "makeactive" flag as well

aslo your windows section looks a little funny I would make it look like the following:
Code: Select all
title Other Operating System - Microsoft Windows
        rootnoverify (hd0,1)
        chainloader +1


you could give supergrubdisk a try as well
If you check the wiki, use the search function and google you can find the answer to most of your questions.

Remember to mark your thread [Solved] if your issue is fixed.
