Windows 98SE will not boot (Dual boot system)
HI I run FC5 (Linux->GRUB bootloader), I also have a lot of data on my secondary HDD (Windows Drive). I do not want to loose this data and all I get when I try to boot Windows 98SE is an error saying that GRUB cannot boot into Windows because it does not recognize the boot file (or something to that effect). How can I get Windows to boot without losing all my data. I have tried to put my Windows drive on the primary channel and boot it as a primary drive, but all I get is "L02 02 02 02....". I have also tried starting the PC with CDROM Support (via Windows install CD, and ,with the Windows drive on Primary channel) and running the sys C: command... No luck (sys command not recognized). I am all out of ideas, any help would be appreciated...

Set the windows drive to primary master.
Boot to a windows98 boot floppy. Type fixmbr at the command prompt and hit enter. Reboot with the floppy removed.

before you start messing with it, you may want to boot to linux and try to save the files you do not want to lose.
