With a dual-boot machine (Mandrake 7.1 & Win98) Win98/DOS fails to boot inside a VM with "invalid system disk". The machine is configured as follows: 0: b, Win95/FAT32 1: 82, Linux swap 2: 83, Linux native (ext2fs) The Win98 boot sequence is: title bleh rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 This works fine outside of VMWare, but when I try to boot inside a VM (configured for physical drive), grub comes up, executes OK, but BIOS reports "Invalid system disk". The drive is the first physical drive in the VM. The weird part is that my co-worker is VM/booting Win2k (server!) on an identical machine without problems (he uses a slightly different partition layout with a /boot, and a reiserfs Linux root though). The physical disk is a Maxtor 17G unit using DMA/66. I would appreciate any ideas on where to go with this - I'm not sure how to further diagnose this. Thanks! Jan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
