I have Windows 98SE installed on hda1 and Mepis on other partitions of my hard drive. I say Windows is installed, but I receive the message:
Invalid system disc
Replace the disc, and then press any key
when I choose to boot Windows. I can put in a Windows Boot disk and boot, but I still can't run Windows after the computer boots. Therefore I assume Windows is the problem. This happened after I manipulated some files, some on hda1. I would like to avoid a reinstallation of Windows, if possible.
When I installed Mepis I installed grub in the root directory of my Mepis installation.
How do I get the computer to ignore grub and just boot Windows, i.e., get the computer to run as if only Windows were installed? I want be able, though to return to booting my Mepis, because, right now, that is the only thing that works!!
