You may have to get the new lilo, which will allow you to boot above the
1024 point, or get partition magic to resize  your drive and move your info
to the back of the drive. I had to learn the hard way and lost all my info.
Now I set up a new drive with at least a 2 gig linux partition before I ever
put a dos partition on it. Or you can get winlinux which will allow you to
install over windows and not lose any files.
