Can't boot winDOS floppies

Crom5 · 01-08-2001, 11:47 PM

I had a working Slackware/DOS 6 system. Decided to replace dos with win95.

After installing win 95 reinstalled LILO in MBR. oops.

Wouldn't boot so I
#fdisk /MBR
and try reinstall win95.

Booting from win95 floppy I get
"Now Booting MS-DOS..."
and computer never continues.
Same message from any MS boot disk.(DOS-6, win3.1, win95)

I can boot Slack floppy and
mount root=/dev/hda2

How can I get hard disk booting again?

Is lilo working now after the several installs. And if it is, do you have Win95 installed on its own hard disk or partition. If you do, you can edit lilo.conf within slackware to fix the problem. Sounds to me you need to make the changes to lilo or reinstall lilo.
