GRUB causes Window ME to hang on boot

Subject: GRUB causes Window ME to hang on boot

<br>After installing GRUB (for dual-boot Linux purposes), my Windows ME
hangs when it boots.<br>When it hangs, on the first Windows ME screen, I
can manually shut it off, and then re-boot. That re-boot launches a text
screen with four options: 1 = Normal, 2 = with CD??, 3 = with CD??, 4 =
Safe Mode.<br><br>Then, either 1=Normal or 4=SafeMode will run Windows ME
properly. Once up, it runs fine; no problems with video cards, other
drivers, etc.  The issue seems to be just within the Windows ME boot
process.<br><br>Obviously, it's a pain to got thru this on every power-up
or restart.<br>Can you advise me what causes this, or how to fix
it?<br><br>If GRUB had the partitions improperly specified, would THAT
cause this condition?<br><br>My PC is a Compag workstation, 2 yrs old, 128
MB RAM, 40GB harddisk, with both primary & extended partitions. GRUB
was installed through  RedHat Linux 8.0 installation CD, which I have done
repeatedly, including numerous re-partitionings of the hard drive, using
Disk Druid.<br><br>Only previous Linux installations (over the past two
days), GRUB launched Windows ME very nicely. I have been struggling to make
Linux itself work; I think that's a separate problem, except for possible
damage to partitions or an incorrect GRUB
file.<br><br><br>Stephen<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><font
