Default I messed my GRUB file up

I installed Ubuntu, and GRUB didn't add Windows to the list, so I tried editing it myself, but I did it wrong somehow. Now when I try to boot I get an error. Error 17 I believe it says.

I tried to use my Ubuntu live cd to fix it, but I can't seem to mount my partition.

root@ubuntu:/boot # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/lin/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so


Maybe I didn't write it into fstab correctly?

/dev/hda1 /mnt/lin ext2 defaults 0 0

that's what I put into fstab to mount it.
