My setup: First primary partition Win98 se. Second primary partition Win2000 pro. Third primary partition WinXP pro.
Fourth primary partition Red Hat Linux 8.1.

Originally I set upone the first three OS's with Partition Magic 8.0 and everything worked great; no problem booting from one OS to another.

Then, also using Partition Magic I installed Linux. It works fine as far as I can tell. Still learning to use it.

The problem started when I wanted to switch back to Windows.

Rebooted with the Partition Magic boot disks.

Set the Win2000 partition active then rebooted.

Instead of Windows booting as I expected, only Linux will boot.

What can I do to get my Windows to boot again?


I am new to Linux.
 
You need to tell the Boot Loader you want to boot windows. Since Linux was last installed, the nlinux is the default.
