I don't know what happened but I changed boot=/dev/hdb1 to boot=/dev/hda in my
lilo.conf ran /sbin/lilo and rebooted and I got the lilo prompt
so I choose to boot windows but it just hands after it says loading windows,I
then booted into DOS with my rescue disk and fdisk says my windows HD is no
longer a FAT 32 drive.Anyone have any idea what might have happened?
