Hi Jim,

If I understand you correctly, you can still boot up your Win95 drive.
The desktop comes up, right? If this is true, you have an intrinsic
Win95 problem, I�m not aware of anything in the SuSE installation
process that could have caused it. Let�s just call it an ironic
coincidence: Win crashes and burns the moment you install Linux.
If you can�t even boot up your Win95 drive, it�s probably a lilo
problem. Did you declare both drives and their respective OS during lilo
configuration? Do you get a lilo prompt at boot time, and if you press
TAB, do both lilo options display ?
More later!
