Hello,
You're right. That doesn't work. It works for the WinMe, but not the MSDOS.
I have Windows98-version MSDOS installed in (hd1,0). That is not a second Windows. I would like to boot into MSDOS for ghost backup. So, first I create a primary FAT partition, then transfer the MSDOS system (sys d:) and copy the dos commands from Windows98 boot diskette.

I have WinMe In (hd0,0) and Win98 MSDOS in (hd1,0). And I can create bootable floppy for both. Please advise how to create the bootsect.dos in linux or msdos for both to work with the grub chainloader that you have suggested. I couldn't locate the bootsect.dos in my WinMe.
You've installed the two copies of Windows on to different disks so there probably isn't a bootsect.dos there. Something like this *might* work (I haven't tried it) title WinME hide (hd1,0) unhide (hd0,0) root (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 title Win98 hide (hd0,0) unhide (hd1,0) root (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1
Thinking about this a bit more, it probably doesn't work. The hide/unhide bits are intended for multiple OSes on one disk, but you have installed them on two disks. How exactly did you do the installation? Did you phsically remove the first disk when installing the second version of Windows? Or did you just tell it to use the second disk, in which case the second copy's bootloader is still probably on the first disk, despite the WINDOWS directory being on the second disk.
Paul.
