Booting troubles from new disk w/ Windows
 

Hello
I have 2 HDDs, one 15 gig with windows 98, and another 200 gig with linux red hat 7.3. I used Partition magic 7.0 to re-partition my second (200 gig) HDD. I made the linux partition smaller, and added a very small linux swap partition, and two FAT32 partitions. I restarted my computer, and when I try to boot windows, all I get is a black screen with the word GRUB. I then re-installed linux, and tried booting from both disks, but I still get the GRUB text when I try to boot from the Windows disk, and nothing when I try to boot from the linux disk.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Julien

My understanding is that you can't have more than one FAT32 partition on any one drive with GRUB. You can get round this by hiding one of the partitions. In any case it sounds as if GRUB hasn't been configured correctly. My favorite site for this is http://www.wbglinks.net/pages/reads/linux/grub.html.

Not quite...
 

Yes, you can have more than one FAT 32 partition on one disk with GRUB. Perhaps you are thinking primary partitions? In any case, the final diagnosis is correct. GRUB should probably be reinstalled and reconfigured.
