After swapping some drives around I ran grub a few times and now have a situation where W98 cannot read and data on its 2.5G partition (hda1). I can "cd C:" ok but if I try to read any data I get the "abort, retry, fail" message.
But when I run Debian from hda5 I can mount hda1 and read the files, no trouble at all. Another odd thing is that I ran "fdisk /mbr" but on boot it still finds and runs the grub menu which is on sda5. I'd really appreciate some hints on how to recover hda1.
