I have been messing with this most of the day....

I have a laptop that had win2000 installed to the drive, I need to add win 98 without dumping the 2000 install and starting over so I thought I would use grub.

Consequently I partitioned the drive (only has one) with partition magic, set up a fat 32 as the second partition, it became hda5 for some reason. Added the linux to hda6 > hda10.

I can boot into win 2000 no problem, (hda1) and linux (hda6), but whenever I try win 98 I get various errors, various because I have altered the grub.conf a million ways....<g>

So now I am begining to wonder if its even possible, all references I have seen in the docs, faq google etc seem to imply the partition needs to be a primary opposed to a logical, is this correct?

TIA...
Terry....
