Help! I can't boot of drive C anymore - here's  the story

I've got 2 drives, C and D
On drive C I've got windows 3.1
I recently put in drive D. Partitioned it for windows 3.1 and Linux.
I installed another copy of windows 3.1 on drive D (in preparation for
win95). I used LILO boot manager to boot between win 3.1 (C), win 3.1 (D), 
and Linux.  Things were working fine.

Then I installed Windows 95 Upgrade Version on drive D. 
I don't know what it did, but now I can't boot win 3.1/DOS off 
drive C. I'm getting a non-system disk error message. I don't even
know why it even TOUCHED drive C because I didn't want it to.

So the question is: how do I make drive C bootable again (without
formatting it again) ?



thanks,
