Since i haven't used windows 98, i'm doubtful that if he has reinstalled his 98 then why it didn't overwrite the grub in mbr ???
Do you manually require to "fdisk /mbr" in case of 98.???
Originally posted by masand "fdisk /mbr" rewrites the windows mbr no matter which windows version is installed
in newer version of win u need to use "fixmbr"
regards
Agree.
What i intended to ask was that generally when we reinstall windows XP it automatically rewrites mbr. But here why we have to use "fdisk /mbr" manually ??? Doesn't win 98 after reinstallation, in case of dual booting, overwrites the grub boot loader in mbr ??
regards
