I have Mandrake Linux 8.1 installed and am trying to boot Windows 98 using grub. When the grub menu screen comes up, I select windows for windows 98. I get a message that states: partition is fat (0xc). Windows 98 never boots.

I would appreciate any suggestion one might to fix this problem.

Here's the appropriate portion of my grub.conf file, that boots Windows 2000:


title Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1


Windows 2000 is installed on the first primary partition on the first hard disk in my system.
