Hello I have just installed a few OS's on a SSD hard drive on Old PC. TO use them I use grub for dos from boot floppy.
So I wanted to boot from Hard drive with grub4dos and choose my OS. So my first Partion (hd0,0) in Windows 98 os
my second (hd0,1) is Windows XP, my thrid is Puppy Linux (hd0,2), they all work and load from Grub4dos via floppy.
So I used bootlace.com from floppy with command bootlace 0x80 and loaded menu.lst, grldr , and grldr.mbr on root patition on win98 filesystem.
Now when I boot, from hard drive it prompts me weather I want to go back to old MBR and hit hot key, otherwise will
launch grub4dos. So if I hit the Hotkey spacebar within 5 seconds it boots Windows 98, if I do not it goes to grub4dos
menu.lst. I donot want to hit a key on boot up every time I want to boot to W98, instead I want to launch it with the other OS's from the menu.lst.
My other Os's boot find from menu.lst i.e. XP and puppy linux.
My grub for dos version is grub4dos-0.4.5c
Now if I go into the menu.lst and do the following commands for W98
hide (hd0,1)
hide (hd0,2)
unhide (hd0,0)
makeactive (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)
chainlaoder (hd0,0)/io.sys
boot
It now just loads the Win98 logo splash screen and hangs their. By the way W98 filesystem is FAT32
I read some forums that you can not boot from menu.lst Win98 if you grub is on that partition, I read others
saying you can.
Basically I want help to boot to WIN98 from menu.lst
Thanks.
