Oops,
that implies that you have grub both in the MBR and
in the boot sector of your Win95 partition.
Did you save the Win95 boot sector before installing
Grub ?
If not, you'll have some problem. I do not know how to
reinstall the Win95 boot sector in the partition, it
might work, but no promises, to do a fdisk /MBR on
that partition (but this will shurely erase Grub from
the MBR), or boot a Win95 rescue floppy and do a sys C:
I guess you did some
root (hd0,0)
install (hd0,0)
which installs Grub in the boot sector of your Win95
partition.
I think you wanted:
root (hd0,0)
install (hd0)
I have several systems without Linux but multi-booting
via Grub.
Grub sits on a VFAT partition containing DOS 7 - although
M$ never sold it separately. I currently do not know an
alternative, which understands long file names, which I
do not want to miss.
