I just installed Red Hat Linux 5.2 with WIN95. First I created a partition
for the new system with partition magic then  I tried it 4 or 5 times to
install and each time I got to the part that I needed to make a boot disk, I
put the disk in pressed enter and it just sat there saying"creating boot
disk" I waited and waited etc... it just froze at that point.  I then went
throught the re-install (again) and this time chose not to create a boot
disk and let the LILO load into the MBR.  Now I get LINUX to boot
automaticlly (cool!!) But I can't get back to windows. In fdisk, I can see
both partitons on the drive. Neither one of them is a "Primay DOS"
partition.  When I go to PQ Magic, (text mode) from the rescue disk, I can
see the Hidden Win95 partiton. My question is how do I get windows to boot
again?
Sincerely confused.......
