This is in part a windows question, but there is a linux link and people here are smart. Setup before today: 1. 40G hard drive partitioned so /dev/hda1 is fat with w98, balance of disk is various linux partitions. Booting is via grub to either w98 or gentoo linux. Changes today: 2. added a new hard drive as /dev/hdb. Allowed the W2K windows installer to format it as ntfs. Allowed windows installation to proceed to install on that drive (E:\ after C:\ (w98) and D:\ (cdrom). I wasn't watching most of the time but it eventually said it was completed and would reboot. Result: 3. when grub tries to load the old win98 stanza, [1] it simply produces the error message: "NTLDR is missing Press any key to restart" 4. linux still boots fine. 5. I have been unable to persuade grub to boot the presumably installed w2k on /dev/hdb1 What next, I don't want to make anything worse! [1] rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1
