what does your /etc/lilo.conf look like? you should show include it here;
that would make things alot easier to diagnose.
Where did you load LILO? what does the "boot=" line look like in your
/etc/lilo.conf?
It sounds like you have "boot=/dev/hdaN" ( where N is you linux partition
number, assuming you're using the master primary IDE channel )
If you have "boot=/dev/hdaN" you can
- boot DOS ( I think you can use Win95 DOS, but reboot to DOS mode )
- run fdisk in DOS
- follow the menu/instructions to change the active partition to your
linux partition.
- exit fdisk
- reboot
If you have "boot=/dev/hdbN" you should
- boot linux (from a boot floppy)
- edit /etc/lilo.conf
change the boot value to "boot=/dev/hda" (this is assuming that Win95
is on the first partition of the primary master IDE drive (C:))
- reboot
