That's what I'd do. I'd use a plain, bootable DOS floppy
with "fdisk" on it and type "fdisk /mbr" and then "fdisk"
and wipe the drive clean and start over from scratch. First
thing to install will be Windows, as otherwise, Windows
will reset the MBR and you won't be able to get to Linux.
Then, after Windows is installed, shut down Windows all the
way (power down) and boot to the boot floppy that came with
Linux. If it won't boot off that one, boot back to Windows
and install the "rawrite" util off the CDROM onto your hard
drive and use that to make a new boot disk from the CDROM
(from your CDROM drive in the /images directory, type
"rawrite boot.img" and have a blank floppy ready to go --
preferably a brand new floppy!)
