Hi there,
I have been running both Win95 and Linux from a single hard disk for quite
a few months now. I am sorry to admit that I don't really know what is
wrong in the case you are describing. Anyway, this is what I did: I used
fips to repartition my hard drive and linux fdisk to destroy the new dos
partition and create a Linux Native (/dev/hda3) and a Linux Swap
(/dev/hda4) partition from it. Hereafter, Windoze was apparently unaware
of the removal of 1 GB from the C:\ drive. If I remember correctly, Win95
should be (demands to be) installed on the first primary partition of the
first hard drive, i.e. C:\ = /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1. I suppose this should
be the activated partition as well. Oh, I did not install LILO on the hard
drive. Instead I use a LILO bootdisk which suits me just fine.
I hope this helps,
Tim.
