No, I didn't do anything to the kernel.
All I did is this. I had mandrake 8.0 on one
partition. I installed Redhat 7.1 in another
partition and modified lilo.conf of mandrake to
include redhat also in its menu. It did work. After
doing this, I could boot to all three (winNT, mandrake
and redhat). But the next time, I added some more
entries giving different names to the same things.
Only after this, I couldn't boot to windows. Fdisk
in linux shows /dev/hda1 as FAT16(which is right) but
would not mount it. DOS fdisk shows that partition as
"unknown".

fdisk /mbr also didn't work out.
