Now, before I begin, I am some noobish. i would like answers and not questionings as to why i am doing this crazy stuff hehe. i have browsed alot of pages to try and figure out what is going on, and after a long day of running around and fixing my car, i'm broke down =). Here's what i want to do: Boot winxp, rh9, and win98. heres what i have: hd1= winxp partition with operating system hd2= 10gb linux partition (swap partition and boot sector for grub are on this drive to) 10gb fat32 (windows98 partition that doesnt have 98 installed) 93gb winxp (another os here dual booting with first xp, however this on contains the datat that cannot be erased) heres what i have done: i have the GRUB bootloader installed and functional, with winxp and rh9 dual booting. now i have a 10gb partition i want to place win98 on. unfourtunately i cannot reformat any drives due to the data on them(primarily the 93gb winxp partition on second drive). not only that but my first drive is a winxp drive. hich leads to problems installing win98 period. now i disabled the primary hard drive leaving only hd2. after booting with a floppy i manage to fool win 98 , being that there is only one fat32 drv it assumes it is the C: drive, into installing... now what i need help with, being that i cant even read i am so tired, is a way to add an entry in to the grub.conf that will boot the fat32 as the active partition... this theoreticaly should boot win 98 from the grub loader. If this is all confusing please ask me to clarify what isnt understood, as per the fact that i probably cant even spell my name right now lol. -Fox

If I am understanding you correctly you will need somethin like: map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) makeactive in your grub config file. I am not a grub user, perhaps someone else can give more information?
