Awhile back my wife asked me to add Windows 98 SE to the operating
systems on her computer (Gentoo and WinXP) so that she could play old
games that we couldn't get to work in Linux with wine. She attempted to
boot into Windows XP today, but got an error message:
NTLDR is missing
Press any key to continue
I've been doing research on NTLDR, and I've found lots of help in
restoring NTLDR, but none whatsoever in simply removing it. Her
computer uses grub as the boot loader. I know this isn't specifically a
Gentoo question, and not even a Linux question, but she needs WinXP for
school (she's starting in the Medical Lab Technician program tomorrow.
All her homework is on the computer, and our school isn't enlightened
enough to use Linux yet.) Can anyone help me?

It seems that installing 98 after XP causes problems due to 98's
bootloader being too stupid to dual boot. While *this* particular issue
should not apply to you - as you have grub, installing 98 may mean that
the drive numbers for XP in your grub configuration are now wrong. Some
experimentation with your grub setup will be needed I suspect. Hopefully
others can help with these (I use lilo).
Good luck
