Had hardware issues and now my main drive is running Fedora Core (Primary Master)
DVD ROM (Primary Slave). Secondary Master is another HDD, Secondary Slave is CD-R. This is the only hardware configuration that will allow the computer to boot. I need to keep the data on the Secondary Master, so reinstalling Windows is not an option unfortunately.

PROBLEM: Fedora core will boot fine. Windows 98 however is not recognised, puts me back to the bootloader (GRUB) any suggestions on how to configure GRUB/HDD boot sector so that it will boot Windows 98?

Thanks for any help in advance...

Cheers.

Hello:
Log in as root using
su -
yourpassword
and type
cat /etc/grub.conf
and
fdisk -l

And, please post the output of both.
