I installed RH7.3 and Win98 in my computer. Win98 is in /dev/hda4 and for what I read around it doesnt seem to be the problem.

I am using Grub for dual-boot and my grub.conf for Win98 is:

title Win98
rootnoverify (hda4, 0)
makeactive
chainload (hda4, 0)+1

When I try to load Win98 I get the error:

Error11 Unrecognized Device String

:confused: Does anyone know what is the problem. Thx in advance

Edit: Should I try to force this partition to be primary with Disk Druid ??

It's really not that hard to search Google for Linux for Grub guides etc.


title = Win98
root = (hd0,3)
makeactive
chainloader +1



(hd0) /dev/hda

(hd1) /dev/hdb

(hd2) /dev/hdc

hd0,0 is hda1
hd0,1 is hda2
hd0,2 is hda3
hd0,3 is hda4

I found my error, lol.....I had written root (hd0, 3) with that space, so it didn`t recognize the string...After I changed it to root (hd0,3) everything was fine...By the way...For some reason I didnt find that code in google/linux, but in a newbie guide link in fancypiper`s sig:D
