[plug] Windows partition eating...

If you run the Linux installation again, and choose upgrade, you will get
another chance at installing the Boot Loader

G'day Oliver,

I've been thru the reinstall of both Win95 and linux a couple of
times and never had a problem with Winblows 'eating' the non-FAT
partition.

I did learn the hard way that it will wipe lilo out of the mbr however. I
know there is a way to re-establish lilo after this has happened but
I haven't used it. I always install Winblows first and then do the
linux build. Works a treat. Kind of like saving the best until last!

Cheers,
Damion.
