[techtalk] Windows won't boot after installing RedHat 7

[Roberta Voulon]

Just a little more information about my setup:

The drive is a Maxtor harddisk
The partitions are set up like so:
hda1 *   1 -  931 FAT32
hda2   932 - 2482 extended
hda5   932 -  934 /boot
hda6   935 - 1543 /
hda7  1544 - 1552 <swap>
hda8  1553 - 2482 FAT32

Thanks,

>I bought Redhat 7 and installed it on my newly built computer at home. I meant to make it dual boot with Win98. Now my problem is that after installing Redhat I can't boot into Windows anymore... The partition is still there, i just can't access it. Not even when i use a boot disk or the win98 startup disk or the CDrom. When i try to boot that way, as soon as it tries to probe the drive, it hangs, and the HD led stays lit.

>I don't have much experience in linux. Is there somebody who could help me out here? It must be a common problem, but nowhere on the Redhat site do I find anything about it. I'll ask Redhat tech support to help me out, but I was hoping that in the 3 days waiting for them to get back to me, someone here would have a quick answer :) that would help me fix the partition...
