>Hey everyone:

>So, I want to add a windows98 partition to my system.   What I have now is 
>grub allowing me to choose WindowsXP or RedHat8.
>
>The problem is...when I dropped my 98 boot to get xp and rh going, I didn't 
>think about the printer, which my wife uses a lot.  It only has drivers for 
>Windows98 or WindowsMe.  (Mita 560 laser).

>So...since those are already installed, is there a good way to add a 98 
>partition?  I have an extra drive (4gb, not doing anything) that I could 
>use.)  That way I wouldn't have to mess with using partition magic (which 
>hosed my grub boot last time.)

>My wife is getting anxious to print things, and I'd hate to start over.

>Oh...while we're on the subject, here is another question about grub.

>I originally had RH8 installed on a small partition on one of my HDD's.  I 
>got a new HDD right after that, and wanted more space for Linux, so I used 
>20gb of the new HDD and reinstalled.  Now, I see no reason to keep the old 
>install of linux, and could easily drop those partitions and reclaim my

>in my grub listing, I'm wondering if the boot files reside there...  If I
