Thanks again but I have also tried fdisk/mbr which will enable win98 to boot up
again but of course wont let linux bootup, I have to use the startup disk.
One thing I must say is that I have also tried installing linux (Iam using
Mandrake 7.0) on the first HD the 17Gig which worked perfectly, lilo worked a
treat BUT for some reason win98 would not install not matter what I tried it
came back with errors even though I was trying to install it on the second 4gig
HD.
Unfortunately there are a couple of programs I use on win98 thats why I need
it.
By the way I have also tried Redhat 6.0 and the same problem occurs.
I have run out of docs etc to read that is why I wondered if anyone else had
this problem happen to them.
thanks again
Mike
