Hi I've got a problem and hope people of the board can help me out. I have 2 hard drives, on the primary is Win 98 2nd ed, on the secondary is Linux Mandrake 7.2. I am currently trying to upgrade my box and wanna back up some files from windows. Since I am ready to get rid of mandrake and use slakeware I guess I will format the second drive and back up all the files onto the secondary. To make sure that windows will still boot after I format the secondary drive, I disable and unplugged the secondary but during the loading of Grub, it showed "stage 1" and the usual "stage 2" was replaced by " hard drive error" I guess Grub cannot work since its installed in the second hard drive. How do I get rid of this problem. Do I just go ahead and format my linux drive and totally get rid of Grub is there a better way??
