Bootable linux partition - I guess ext2(/3)?  Any fat partitions on the 1st disk?

Assuming your win98 partition was c: under the other computer...
- you could either try hiding/removing/rearranging, by bios/boot/grub/physically exchanging the cable positions.
(as was somewhat suggested in my previous post)

Well you'd have to edit grub again, and point your backup/restore/etc scripts to the new location.
