[pchelpers] Re: Boot Record

Easy.  Boot from your W98 cd then run Fdisk with the switch /mbr. (fdisk /mdr)  
This re-writes the Master Boot Record.  This is the bit that gets screwed by 
the linux boot loader.  You might need to remove various non-dos partitions 
first, depending on how you had it set up with linux.
