Something has changed the disk geometry;
LI The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot
loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a
geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map
installer.

0x10 "CRC error". A media error has been detected. Try booting several
times, running the map installer a second time (to put the map file at
some other physical location or to write "good data" over the bad
spot), mapping out the bad sectors/tracks and, if all else fails,
replacing the media.

I cant comment om win95 as i dont use it.
But i do suggest you read the dual-boot howto and other lilo related doc's
which can be found in your /usr/doc/* dirs, when you have accessed the disk.

Yes, create a new boot floppy from your source cd, using the RAWRITE.EXE
programm.
