Hi,
In addition to what others have said about restoring the Win 98
bootsectors, I'll suggest one more thing. Restoring those bootsectors
will allow you to boot into Win 98 fine from LILO, but you still have to
do things to be able to boot into FreeDOS.
For that, what I'd suggest is to re-instal
Hmm, so from what I read here, it seems FreeDOS FORMAT *does* support
FAT32 formatting. I guess this means the help page that pops up during
installation should be modified to reflect this. It is that page that
told me FreeDOS FORMAT doesn't support FAT32 yet ...
Coolio! :)

Hi all,
Just thought I should write in to report that everything's sorted out
now.
I rebooted my machine using the Windows XP CD and went into recovery
console. Here I type "FIXBOOT C:" and that restored my XP bootsector.
After that I rebooted, and I was able to chainload this using GRUB ...

Lucho,
Thanks for those bootsectors. :)
One quick question -- I have a Windows XP startup disk, and since that
startup disk can be used to invoke ntldr and show the usual boot options
menu, is it possible that I can use whatever bootsectors are there on
the floppy and write those to my C: drive?
Ok, so I goofed up big time!!! Time to ask for HAAALLLP!!! :)
I guess I was sleepy, or maybe the instructions really weren't clear --
I dunno -- when I went through the installation program yesterday,
FreeDOS installed itself fine and all, and towards the end asked me
whether it should install th

I see. Thanks for clarfiying that. :)
Hmm, what's ODIN supposed to be? Saw a mention of it on the main page,
gotta check it out. :)
But hey Steve! I was trying to download FreeDOS beta9rc5 and found a
version of ODIN 0.7 updated April 20, 2004. Here's the link:

Thank you all! :) I have GRUB installed, which is what I am using to
boot between all the different OSes. So my understanding based on all
that I have read so far is that:
1. I can tell the FreeDOS install program to install itself on a primary
partition on my secondary master drive.
2. Since m

Am interested in trying out FreeDOS, but am unsure whether it will work

My primary master drive is completely filled -- with win 98, win xp,
