Hi everyone !

Just checking by to give you a POSITIVE update on my
"fdisk-partitioning-Win95-DOS-BIOS" problem and to let others know the
solution if you have the same kind of problem.

The problem was with my hard drive (Quantum, 4.3 GB, CHS 14848-9-63). I
needed less than 1024 cylinders for DOS, but Linux used 14848, so lilo
couldn't write the MBR. The solution:
I downloaded Quantum disk manager and it remapped(!) the information about
the number of the cylinders.

Now everything works !!! Hallelujah !!!

Thanks to everyone who helped !

Helmut
