Re: GRUB fails to boot Win98

[Graham Smith]

Okuji,

I have now tried all of the following:

GRUB 0.91 (standard release without any RedHat patches)
GRUB 0.91 (with RedHat patches as per RedHat 7.3)
GRUB 0.92 (standard release)

I have tried using all these versions from boot floppy and from hard disk both 
with stage1 installed in MBR of (hd0) and with stage1 installed in (hd1,4) 
and chainloaded by LILO installed in the MBR.  The results are the same with 
all versions, i.e. both Linux and Windows boot OK from GRUB on boot floppy, 
Linux boots OK with GRUB on hard disk but Windows fails with 'Error 25: Disk 
read error' when GRUB is installed on the hard disk.

Could you advise how I can assist in debugging this?

regards
Graham Smith
