I have installed XP on a box with NT4, W98 and linux. Unfornunately, I forgot to disable the W98 partition when starting the installation. XP installed fine and put its boot loader into the Win98 partition, offering a menu to eiter stayrt XP or W98. :-( I tried hard to transfer all XP boot fiels to the Xp partition, but I did not manage to get the XP partition to boot without W98 being active. I am sure, it would have worked, if I had disabled all other partitions prior to installing it. 73, Mario P.S. does anybody have an idea, how to get rid of the Xp booter on the W98 partition? - - -- Mario Klebsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key available at http://www.klebsch.de/public.key Fingerprint DSS: EE7C DBCC D9C8 5DC1 D4DB 1483 30CE 9FB2 A047 9CE0 Diffie-Hellman: D447 4ED6 8A10 2C65 C5E5 8B98 9464 53FF 9382 F518 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: CeU3iULGCsZAmcVFsPqOcGqynBaPbcg3 iQA/AwUBO/QRSDDOn7KgR5zgEQJNggCfQqBvSwwxohRr/vK7HARdQKuBtcYAn2qI Y3uXSBpK+LHiYTNJFCVIgHon =vHI1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
