I saw a previous poster saying he didn't understand the question - and I 
don't either.  But a couple of points.

1)  You will probably have had to use the DOS fdisk to set up your windows 
partition.  This will have overwritten the boot loader (lilo) so you will 
need to boot using the rescue floppy load your original root disk as root and 
then run lilo again

2) You can see the files on your windows partition under linux by mounting 
the partition (something like mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /win)
