	As for your problem on the mounting of the root fs it sounds
like there is a partition problem happening. If there never was a
second partiton on the harddrive to begin with then the problem lies
behind the fact that it can't create it properly. If this is the
problem then use fips to try and carve out a second one (be careful
since this is kinda dangerous to the exsisting partition). The last
option sounds stupid to some people but it's the least complex. Do a
low level format on all of your harddrive then use a bootdisk with
fdisk on it. make two partitions and then install windows on the one
partition then linux on the other.
                                               Hopefully this helps
