What do I do now? Please assume I'm an idiot when offering advice.

Are you using lilo, or grub, as your bootloader? Post your lilo.conf,
or grub's menu.lst.

Hi, I'm using LiLo.

It looks like this:

boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
default="pclinuxos"
keytable=/boot/livecd.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-oci6.mdk-i586-up-1GB
label="pclinuxos"
root=/dev/sda8
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.12-oci6.mdk-i586-up-1GB.img
append="noapic nolapic acpi=ht nomce psmouse.proto=imps splash=silent"
vga=788
read-only

other=/dev/sda1
label="WindowsXP"

Hope that makes some sense to you.

Cheers.

Tim
