Hello everybody, I have a multi-boot problem that I can't resolve... I found
many posts about multi-hd boot but none about a single hd!
This is my HD layout (hde because I have an ATA100 drive):
- hde1 with win98 (FAT32, 1st primary)
- hde2 with winXP (NTFS, 2nd primary)
- hde3 still unformatted, I plan to install another distro soon (3rd
primary)
- hde5 with linux (ext3, 1st extended)
- hde6 with swap (2nd extended)
Since now I have always used PowerQuest Bootmagic on the MBR installed on
hde2 with absolutely no problems, but I want to replace it with GRUB: the
result is that I can boot perfectly both winXP and linux but win98 doesn't
boot, I get only a blank screen...
I tried hiding partitions, rootnoverify, makeactive, ecc with no success,
and the same happens with LILO.
Any help would be appreciated... I also added my last menu.lst try.
Thanks!
Davide
