Do you have a dos boot disk?   I can''t boot into safe mode, grub wont even start to load windows, see above error message.

All i can figure that caused this was if grub put something in the windows directory and spybot S&D deleted it, if so I am going to have to reformat and reinstall then do another 5 hours worth of updates, driver installs, and installing VS.net.

If it''s gone it might be enough to copy it back to where it belongs.. ;  I could be completely off here, but have Linux fix your boot loader (update it from the installer).
