You may have damaged your main boot record on the hard drive. Try using a
Windows
98 boot ( or Windows 98 emergency disk) that has FDISK on it. Try the
command
FDISK/MBR. By using the / MBR switch, it will replace the startup code of
the
beginning for the MBR(it will overwrite the Linux info).The Windows
Partition info will be left in tact. After it replaces the startup code it
will return you
to the DOS prompt, just reboot.You can then try a fresh install of Linux.
Before you start
FDISK, check your CMOS to ensure that A: drive is in the boot order and
selected. i.e.. boot
order A:,C:, CD: etc..
Note: The /MBR switch is an undocumented feature of FDISK.
Use it at your own risk.
