What I would suggest is that hda1, hada2 be w95 (C:, D:) and make certain
that the rest of the HDD is unusable, free space. Set this up with M$
fdisk.
Install W95.
Use Linux cfdisk to create your ext2 and swap partitions and make hda3 the
boot partition where lilo will be installed. Install Linux and lilo.
