Summary: Dual Boot W98 and Redhat 8.0 - w98 only goes in safe mode
Version: latest with RH8.0
Type: software bug

Message:
Unmodified IBM Aptiva PC Win 98 installed. I add second physical disk (primary 
slave) and installed Red Hat 8.0 using Grub. Red Hat works perfectly but W98 
hangs in normal mode and only runs in Safe mode. Causing problem as no access 
to modem !

I remove the second disk thinking I'd revert to W98 only (before beloved 
returns and sees her PC in bits). But the BIOS puts out an error "grub disk 
failure".

Question.. what has grub written to my W98 disk (primary master) and how do I 
remove to get back to original config?

Also suspect that the W98 does'nt like something from grub dual boot any ideas 
what?

Would try and reinstall w98 but CD somewhere in storage !
