Since LILO did mount, you will need to do the following things to do a dual
boot.

1.  Use your Linux boot disk to boot up into Linux
2.  Log into linux and open an environment
3.  Log into that environment
4.  Type the following command at the prompt?
    dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
        (* Quick Note:  hda2 is the partition of my hard drive where linux
is installed *)
5.  This will create a file called bootsect.lnx.
6.  Remove the linux boot disk from your floppy drive.
7.  Insert a regular DOS disk into the floppy
8.  Copy the bootsect.lnx file to the floppy using the following command at
the prompt
    mcopy /bootsect.lnx a:
9.  Remove the DOS floppy and reboot
10.  When your system reboots it should boot in Windows
11.  Log into your windows session and insert the DOS floppy back in
12.  Copy the bootsect.lnx to the root dir of C:\
13.  Now go to START | PROGRAMS  | WINDOWS EXPLORER
14.  Navigate to c:\boot.ini
15.  Right click your mouse on it and uncheck the READ-ONLY
16.  Edit the boot.ini file and add the following lines at the end (*
c:\bootsect.lnx="Redhat Linux Version 7.1"  *)  .
    [boot loader]
    timeout=05
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation
Version 4.00"
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation
Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
    c:\bootsect.lnx="Redhat Linux Version 7.1"
17.  Save the boot.ini file
18.  Make the file READ-ONLY again
19.  Remove the floppy and REBOOT your system
20.  When the pc reboots, you should be able to see the menu and select
Windows or Linux
