Options if your HDD is larger than 1TB:
*Move your boot files to a smaller partition at the start of the HDD.
*Format the HDD and allow Windows to create a 100MB boot partition.
*Shrink and move your partitions with GParted.

*Something* (please read as *some warez* you downloaded) installed to your system a version of grub4dos (together with a "malformed" menu.lst).Its like command prompt but none off them codes work i have searched and searched for help can some one out there please help me in there a code i can use to get into system restore on this grub command or any command to get rid off this. thanks
Well, you either searched with the wrong keywords or more probably one of the stupid limits of the stupid board software stupid search (yes, that's three times stupid ) bit you , we have TWO threads here dealing with the same or very similar issue:
http://reboot.pro/3833/
http://reboot.pro/5770/
To see properly the contents of CODE boxes (corrupted by a stupid board update - and yes this is the fourth "stupid"), you will need this "online translator":
http://reboot.pro/15275/
http://pastehtml.com.../b4t99xk89.html
I will gladly help you recover from this, but you must provide some background, which system is it (laptop/desktop/make/model, etc.) , how exactly were your disk(s) partitioned BEFORE the issue, which OS you had running, etc.
You can use the above mentioned threads as a "general reference".
If you have a digital camera (on anyway some means to take an actual snapshot of the screen with the result of a couple of commands you should run) it would be easier.

bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot

Or, use a Windows rescue disk ( if it's a Windows system), go to the command prompt there, and :
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot
Sure, that's exactly what is talked about on post #8 here:
http://reboot.pro/5770/#entry45498
it may work but it may not.
In the cited cases the issue if Irecall correctly was a wrong partition ID in the MBR, something that I don't think bootrec would fix , as bootrec should restore just CODE and not correct DATA.
