Your error is also in file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". So how to get this file to Windows? - create directory: mkdir /mnt/WindowsD -to file "/etc/fstab" add line: /dev/hda2 /mnt/WindowsD vfat defaults 0 0 -and run command: mount /mnt/WindowsD Like this you'll mount windows particion /dev/hda2 on directory /mnt/WindowsD. Maybe you'll need to change vfat option (fs type) or particion number. Copy file to windows partition: cp /var/log/xxxx /mnt/WindowsD and reboot to Windows. Good luck.
