Mapping problem with win98

[Jeroen Bruinink]

Hi,

 

I have a little bit of a problem booting win98SE from my second harddisk.

My HD configuration looks like this:

 

----------

hda: harddisk 120GB

    hda1: ext2     linux   10GB

    hda2: FAT32    win98SE 10GB

    hda3: ext2     linux   10GB

      hda4: linuxswap        133MB

      hda5: FAT32    no OS   30GB

      hda6: FAT32    no OS   30GB

      hda7: FAT32    no OS   ~30GB

 

hdb: CDRW-drive

 

hdc: harddisk 20GB

    hdc1: FAT32    win98SE 2GB

      hdc4: FAT32    no OS   4GB

      hdc5  FAT32    no OS   14GB

 

hdd: CDROM-drive

----------

 

hda is a removable harddisk I want to use at school and at home. I want to be able to choose to boot linux from hda1, linux from hda3, windows98 from hda2, or windows98 from hdc1. When I use BIOS to boot from hdc instead of hda (by setting the bootsequence to [D,C,floppy] booting win98 from hdc1 works and "My Computer" looks like:

 

----------

A:    floppy

C:    hdc1

D:    hda2

E:    hdc4

F:    hdc5

G:    hda5

H:    hda6

I:    hda7

J:    CDRW-drive

H:    CDROM-drive

----------

 

However, when I use GRUB to swap the disks "My Computer" looks a little messed up. These are the commands I used in GRUB:

 

----------

map (hd0) (hd1)

map (hd1) (hd0)

makeactive (hd1,0)

chainloader (hd1,0)+1

boot

----------

 

and "My Computer" looks like this:

 

----------

A:    floppy

C:    hdc1

D:    hda2

E:    not accessible

F:    not accessible

G:    hda5

H:    hda6

I:    hda7

J:    CDRW-drive

K:    hdc4

L:    hdc5

M:    CDROM-drive

----------

 

So instead of the normal E: and F: there are now two inaccessible drives and the hdc4 and hdc5 moved to K: and L:

Can anybody tell me how to fix this problem ?

 

Thanx in advance for any advice !
