    I installed Red Hat Linux 9 on a Pentium III.The machine aldready had
    Windows98 installed.The antivirus software restored the MBR after
    installation and so GRUB was removed from the MBR.I don't have the the
    Installation CDs to reinstall GRUB. My boot floppy is not working.I used
    a utility called
    R-Linux(http://www.data-recovery-software.net/Linux_Recovery.shtml) to
    extract files fro the ext2fs linux partion to the FAT32 partion and tried
    using loadlin(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Loadlin+Win95-98-ME.html).The
    kernel is decompressed and it detects the hardware but when mounting the
    root partion I get an error :"Unable to mount due to unsupported optional
    features(4)."

    How do I boot into Linux?Please Help.
