Lilo problems
When reformatting my drive I caught a lost cluster and now everything is messed up- when I boot i get to LI and then i get a blinking cursor. I don't really want to loose my windows partitions but it seems i can't boot windows at all. Is there any way to remove the Lilo boot loader and save the win9x partitons??

If you would like to fix the problem get a win95 boot disk from someone and make sure it has the right version of fdisk on it. after it boots type fdisk /mbr. This will rewrite only the Master Boot record. That will get rid of lilo and allow you to boot as you used to into windows. If you want to save lilo try the comment listed above mine.

Your Linux and Win are in different partitions right? If so, you can just boot from disk and run 'fdisk /mbr'.
