Not at all Rohit. I perfectly understand what you apprehensions are. Here is how i do
it at home. Here is my partitioning scheme.
hda1 100mb linux \
hda2 1gb windows c:
hda3 2 gb openbsd partition
.
.
.
now my active partition is hda1 and I have installed lilo IN hda1
If at all my linux partition or lilo goes bust all I have to is boot through any
floppy (linux or dos or windows 98) run fdisk and
just change your active to your primary dos partition and you are back in business (at
least your windows is up and running)
