Hi, I'm dual booting windows XP on my c: drive and 98 on D:. I used the dual boot fix at dougknox.com(Thanks).Now I would like to add Linux Mandrake 8.0, but I want to use the xp bootloader to boot all three os's. How do I do this?
(xp and 98 are using fat32)

i know you want to use the xp bootloader
but its much easier to use lilo in your case

try my bootmanager and you are more flexible if you want to remove XP or mandrake after some time

Let lilo on MBR and XP bootloader where it is... lilo will give you the choice beetween linux or windows, and if you choose "windows" you'll just get a second choice...it's really easy to live with:
if LILO default=windows and xp default = xp

linux: down, enter

xp: double tap enter

98se: enter, down, enter
