Hi,
I tried to do a dual-boot today.
My laptop had Windows 7 on it - I freed up some space to put Archlinux on it.
The installation now completed, I'm finding that Windows 7 does not start when I select it from the GRUB menu when I start up this laptop. When I press Enter... it's as if I didn't press Enter - nothing happens at all whatsoever.
Here are some pertinent pastes:
My fstab file:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
UUID=434af644-1899-49a5-a5cd-9817e516d604 / ext3 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=55d30d39-0e7b-4766-8084-e11d29a166e5 swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=7b9be97e-9d1c-459b-9219-fea8c0ab8f23 /boot ext3 defaults 0 1
UUID=f7001062-2ca0-4b68-aa87-47fddf642b2b /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0 1
here's an output of df -h:

here's the main part of /boot/grub/menu.lst file:

I would be extremely grateful for any help in getting Win7 to be operational again (it's important to me because I need it for school).
Thanks

Your makeactive and chainloader lines have typos. I'm not sure where you referred to, but please go refer back to those sources.
Allan-Volunteer on the (topic being discussed) mailn lists. You never get the people who matters attention on the forums.
jasonwryan-Installing Arch is a measure of your literacy. Maintaining Arch is a measure of your diligence. Contributing to Arch is a measure of your competence.

Man, good eye for detail.
I see that I was missing a space before the +1
Thank you so very, very, very much. I was getting so frustrated over this.
