linux + win95 + grub partition woes



I got around to reinstalling windows 95 on my dell laptop so I could use the DVD. Windows is installed on the 4th partition. Everything works fine, but after I boot windows and then boot debian, I get error 17 from grub. After booting from a floppy, and running cfdisk, I find that my non-windows partition types have changed (setting them correctly and issuing a "grub-install" fixes the problem until I boot windows again). Is it possible to dual boot with win95 not on the first disk partition, or is there no way around it modifying the partition table?
