Okay, I'm a total newb. Sorry this is so long! This has got me stumped and my question probably doesn't belong in a knoppix forum but I'll try anyways.
Here WAS my setup:
1 -40GB Hard Drive- Primary Master
I had a windows XP1 partition on 10gigs with 30gig storage on a second partition.
2 -40GB Hard Drive- Primary Slave
40GB partition for another Windows XP2 installation.
3 -40GB Hard Drive- Secondary Master
Blank 40GB Formatted Fat32
4 -DVD-RW Drive- Primary Slave
Now I wanted to install Knoppix and had never done it before after a little reading I downloaded the Grub bootloader and used it. I took out the "Primary master" and "Primary slave" hard drives and moved the "Secondary master" hard drive to "Primary Master" and installed knoppix oin an 8GB ext3 partition with a 500mb swap partition following. IT WORKED AND I LOVE IT! So I moved all my hard drives around so Linux would be on Primary Master and my main Xp installation would be Primary Slave. I set it in my BIOS for the "Primary slave" to boot and set up grub. Now I have Knoppix, Windows XP 1, and Windows XP2 loading. Now My setup Looked like this:
1 -40GB Hard Drive- Primary Master
8GB Knoppix Partitioned ext3 with a 1000mb swap partition. The other 31GB unallocated.
2 -40GB Hard Drive- Primary Slave
Windows XP1 partition on 10gigs with 30gig storage on a second partition.
3 -40GB Hard Drive- Secondary Master
40GB partition for Windows XP2 installation.
4 -DVD-RW Drive- Primary Slave
Using Grub I got everything to Boot ok and was happy. LOVE LINUX! Now I decided to move Linux up 3GB with Partition Magic and Install Windows 98 on that 3GB partition(I know it's outdated but it's still fun to mess with!). That worked and got it installed. But I can't figure out how to boot windows 98 with the NTLR or Grub bootloader. BIOS is still loading the Windows XP1 boot file and I can boot Knoppix and both Windows XP's. Final Setup:
1 -40GB Hard Drive- Primary Master
3GB Windows98 and 8GB Knoppix Partitioned ext3 with a 1000mb swap partition. The other 28GB unallocated.
2 -40GB Hard Drive- Primary Slave
Windows XP1 partition on 10gigs with 30gig storage on a second partition.
3 -40GB Hard Drive- Secondary Master
40GB partition for Windows XP2 installation.
4 -DVD-RW Drive- Primary Slave
Any suggestions on how to boot windows 98? THANXS a million!
