Big mistake. Until your C: is restored to http://superuser.com/questions/463070/cant-restore-laptop-windows-after-ubuntu-grub-error FAT12/FAT16/FAT32, your /dev/hda9 system cannot be started from that HD. There's no need for NTFS on C: when you're putting XP on a logical partition, or even if putting it directly on C: for that matter. When you use NTFS, you complicate your access to doze data while booted to Linux. C: can be as little as about 40M and still be used to boot a error 15 choice from XP, 98 & W2K if you want, each on logical partition(s) coexisting with as many Linux installations as you can manage to keep track of, subject of course to the maximum partition limit of your HD. > Grub is restored and SuSE, Slackware and Windows XP can boot, but > Windows 98 couldn't. > I don't want to use C: in FAT, could I use GRUB to boot Windows 98 from > /dev/hda9 (F:), directly? I've never heard of any such error 15 file thing. 98 is DOS, and DOS simply doesn't know anything about booting except from A: or C:. What could work is a DOS boot floppy with proper configuration files to boot from A: but run from your hda9, much like many do to boot doze off the HD but use a floppy for Grub and Linux. I've done it, but your hda9 may need to start below logical cylinder 1024 for it to work for you. The floppy will need to be Win98SE bootable, with IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM. Also you'll want an AUTOEXEC.BAT to set COMSPEC to a HD location of COMMAND.COM, and may want a CONFIG.SYS for driver(s). > My Grub file contains these lines for Win98 partition: > title Windows 98SE > rootnoverify (hd0,8) > makeactive > chainloader +1 > The following error occurs: > Error 12: Invalid Device Requested (hd0,8) Your 98SE doesn't start from (hd0,8), it only runs from there, just like Linux using a separate partition for /boot. > Is there any chance to maintain Windows 98 bootable on /dev/hda9 (F:)? None. But see above. Also, you might create some other primary in the system and use Grub to map, hide, unhide, makeactive and so forth so that the correct "C:" is set for it when you choose it off the Grub menu. > Do I need the erased files from unit C:? They won't do you any good unless 98 thinks they're on A: or C:. -- "Blessed is the

How can I fix this? ubuntu windows-xp grub restore share|improve this question asked Aug 17 '12 at 23:32 Subbu Venkas 111 Use Dban to erase the hard drive, then use the restore discs...dban.org –Moab Aug 18 '12 at 0:41 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote Sounds like the restore didn't wipe out the Grub (Ubuntu) bootloader. If you have a Windows installer disk (either CD or bootable USB), you should boot it up and use it to re-install the Windows bootloader. Boot into the CD, and select the Startup Repair option (I believe it's in the System Recovery Options menu item). After it's done, you should be able to boot into Windows without any problem. share|improve this answer answered Aug 18 '12 at 1:19 Isaac Dontje Lindell 35519 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote The problem is that the windows and linux bootloaders (the little menu that lets you chose an OS to boot into) don't play well together. Well, specifically, the windows boot loader doesn't play well with grub, grub plays with everyone. So, if you boot back into a live session and reinstall the linux bootloader (grub2) yiou should be able to boot into windows. Once there, you can clear the MBR and you should be fine. For a howto on reinstalling grub2 from the Ubuntu live disk, look at point 13 on this page. At this point, you should at least have a working system. For help on reinstalling the windows bootloader, look here. share|improve this answer answered Aug 18 '12 at 1:24 terdon 33.5k66299 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password P
