hi
i have the following problem:
when i was trying to install a second OS on my computer (mandrake linux 10.0)i had an electricity power down (just when i was formatting the new partition, dammit)... now lilo and linux work perfectly, but when i select windows in the lilo menu i get a black screen and nothing happens... i tried using FIXMBR and FIXBOOT from the windows CD, but the problem continues. I even tried to repair the windows installation, with no result...
my windows files are all accesible from the linux system, so i don't think the partition is invalid.
is there any solution other than eliminating all the partitions of the system? is there any chance to keep my windows configuration and files?

thank you very much in advance.

If you have Windows Boot floppy Win98/Me should work
Use : Fdisk /mbr
