I could be wrong, but perhaps grub will throw that error if it can't 
find the location of the Windows installation from the config file. Try 
booting to a live cd, mounting the Linux partition, and deleting the 
Windows reference from the grub configuration file. If that doesn't 
work, I don't know.
