I have recently set up my laptop to triple boot Windows 98 SE, Windows XP, and Fedora 2 using the GRUB boot loader. I installed Windows 98 SE first and booted the computer to make sure it was working, and it was. Then I installed and Windows XP and again checked to see if it was working. So far so good. Then I installed Linux. The Fedora installation recognized my Windows XP installation and automatically set it up on the boot loader. It didn't recognize Win98. So I manualy put a Windows 98 entry on the boot loader, but didn't set it up to boot Win98. Once the Linux installtion was complete I did some research on the internet and attempted to edit the grub.conf(or something like that) file. WIN98 is on the second partition, WINXP is on the first, Fedora is on the third, and Fedora's swap is on the fourth. The grub.conf file's entry for WIN98 looks like this:
title = Windows 98 SE
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
But it won't boot Windows 98 for some reason. I hope that I included enough information for someone to help me.
