Hakan , unless i'm mistaken the answer is quite simple. Shutdown your PC re-boot with a Windows start-up floppy and re-install your Win95. This overwrites MBR but provided you have a Linux boot floppy you can get back into your Linux. Then re-write lilo/conf file (i think) and from a shell Issue command to run /sbin/lilo. Check with others correct file to edit when back in Linux. HTH! [EMAIL PROTECTED]
