I got my bootloader working, but I can't get my system to boot windows. I have a hard disk that I installed windows on before, then I took it out and installed SuSE on the other hard drive I have. The first hard drive has the Win98 MBR on it still, but I can't get GRUB to transfer control over to it. It keeps saying that the device 'hd1,0' doesn't exist, but it does because the harddisk is the slave on its channel, and there is only 1 partition on it. My current boot script is

title Windows 98SE
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
root (hd1, 0)
chainloader+1
makeactive

Why doesn't it work? HELP!

THis is the some trouble I run into on my dual boot. GRUB is installed on the same HDD as SUSE, whcih is a different MBR. thus, if you want to access GRUB, you need to boot your slave drive as the first boot device.

It would probably easier if you reinstalled GRUB and install it otno the win98 HDD. i am going to do that for my own system. just keep a win98 floppy handy so you can run /mbr if you have any problems with GRUB and windows on the same HDD.

i cant remember the command for reinstalling grub, but thats what you will need to do, or as i suggested above, change the boot order in your BIOS.
