Hi !
This can be easily done by booting with your bootdisk into DOS and executing
fdsik /mbr
This will write the original master boot record of W98 back on the
harddrive. After a reset it should boot driectly to W98, be aware that you
will loose the access to the Linux partition(s), which you can erase with
the DOS fdisk, they are reported as unknown filesystems iirc.
Hope that helps..and works, hehe.
