a few things

[Janina Sajka]

Grub is not as accessible as lilo. Don't know what your Windows problem 
was, but I've not seen Windows problems based on lilo, myself. What kind 
of Windows problems? What Windows?

My advice is to put lilo back as your boot loader--or use the commercial 
program System Commander which knows a lot about Windows and handles 
linux, too. But, lilo is free and System Commander isn't. 

PS: You did create a bootable floppy during your linux install, didn't 
you? Can you boot linux using that floppy?
