| I have redhat 6.0 and win 98 running in a sme computer with 2 HD ( one HD
for rhl 6.0 and the other win 98) using LILO.
I can not load win/98 with out both disks. How do I un install Redhat 6.0
and go back to win 98.
Thank you

If I understand, it's booting off the Linux drive and giving you the choice
of Linux or Win98. A couple of things you can try. Your BIOS may let you
choose which drive to boot from. In that case, select D as the boot drive.
Or you can just switch the cables on the drives. That should make the Win98
the boot drive.
If Win98 is on the boot drive, or you make it the boot drive from above, you
may have to reinstall the MBR. From the command line in Windows (Shut down
and Restart in MS-DOS mode) type fdisk /mbr to replace the MBR. It should
boot straight into Win98 now. You can do whatever with the other drive.
Reformat from Win98 will delete RH6.

Boot into windows and format c drive as a system drive...copy your
autoexec.bat config.sys files to this drive. Next drop to dos and make sure
you are in the c drive...
type fdisk /MBR
Now provided that everything has worked, rebooting will boot you straight
into windows and it should work...
You might need to tweak some things as 98 is a little picky about the way it
sets up. You should now have a virtually unused c drive available for 98.
