. I am having PIII-933 MHz system with 815E motherboard and 20GB hard disk. I have Window 98 second edition installed on my system. After sometime, I installed linux 7.0. Whenever i boot my computer it asked whether i wants to choose window or linux. Now problem arises. It does not asked me and it directly start in window. Further i tried with bootable floppy of linux it worked. But i want that this problem should be solved and i should not be depended on a floppy disk. Means when i boot my system, it should show dual port booting option for selection.How this can be possible.
