install mistake leaves win 98se unbootable... |

I just made what is probably a very bad mistake... I typed 'grub-install
/dev/hda' when I should have done that on /dev/hda1 as /dev/hda is my
windows partition. After successfully doing the 'install ...' command and
pointing grub to my boot partition (hd0,1), Linus boots fine. However, if
I select my windows partition from the grub menu, it says 'GRUB loadiing
stage2...' although it has already done this to read the menu.lst file.
The system hangs right after this.
I hope this makes sense... I can mount my windows partition. Is their any
hope I can undo any of the damage I've done or do I have to reinstall the
Winows system files, reinstall GRUB and go from there?
Thanks for any thoughts or help,
Joe
