Multi-Boot XP with Win 98 and Linux
This is a discussion about Multi-Boot XP with Win 98 and Linux in the Windows Software category; I can set up a dual-boot with Win98 easily. I have yet to get a successful multi-boot with Mandrake Linux 8. 1. I have tried setting it up on a separate drive (1st partition), using MBR of that drive, then tried 1st Boot sector, etc.

Also tried using BootMagic (part of Partition Magic) to detect and boot it, but the best I get is a startup message, followed by a Kernel Panic message.
Trying to avoid using Mandrake's custom MBR menu. Windows programs complain about it and it's too easy to kill the menu.
