Windows overwrites the MBR where ur grub was loaded. Use a rh bootdisk to enter rh and then install grub again.

hi pramila

Steps:

1. Boot ur machine in rescue mode from the installation CD # 1 or any other CD that allow u to boot into linux ( eg knoppix )

2. chroot to ur original root directory.

3. run grub-install to set grub as ur default boot loader

4. Make the necessary changes to ur grub.conf file to configure it to start windows 98 also.
