After installing GRUB (for dual-boot Linux purposes), my Windows ME hangs when it boots. When it hangs, on the first Windows ME screen, I can manually shut it off, and then re-boot. That re-boot launches a text screen with four options: 1 = Normal, 2 = with CD??, 3 = with CD??, 4 = Safe Mode.
Then, either 1=Normal or 4=SafeMode will run Windows ME properly. Once up, it runs fine; no problems with video cards, other drivers, etc. The issue seems to be just within the Windows ME boot process. Obviously, it's a pain to got thru this on every power-up or restart. Can you advise me what causes this, or how to fix it? If GRUB had the partitions improperly specified, would THAT cause this condition? My PC is a Compag workstation, 2 yrs old, 128 MB RAM, 40GB harddisk, with both primary & extended partitions. GRUB was installed through RedHat Linux 8.0 installation CD, which I have done repeatedly, including numerous re-partitionings of the hard drive, using Disk Druid. Only previous Linux installations (over the past two days), GRUB launched Windows ME very nicely. I have been struggling to make Linux itself work; I think that's a separate problem, except for possible damage to partitions or an incorrect GRUB file.
