Your MBR is corrupt. Boot into DOS. Run fdisk/mbr. Boot into Linux with boot floppy, run /sbin/lilo.
HTH, Rajen.
I think LILO is not properly got installed.

Dear Abhishek, What Ananth P. said is right. LILO is not properly installed on your m/c. Even I had problem on similar line. Which I have solved. Just follow these simple steps & your problem will be solved. 1. Boot into windows & type fdisk/mbr - This will clear your MBR. 2. Now boot into Linux with your Linux bootable floppy which you must have created during the installation. 3. Login as root & type 'lilo' on your terminal. This will give you message, 'windows added, linux added' by installing new LILO on your MBR. If you do not get this message type lilo -L 4. That's all. Now reboot your m/c & LILO will appear on your screen.
If your problem does not solve by this way, I'll tell you other way round.
NOTE :- Thanks to all the peoples who are helping me conteniously to solve my problems & making me able to help others.
Happy Linuxing, Thanks & Worm Regards, SAMEER :))

Login as root. Opne your /etc/fstab file & add line /dev/hdaX /mnt/win vfat default 0 0 Where X is your Fat32 partition no. Mostly hda1 will be your C drive in Windows but get confermed. Add such lines for every partition you have in FAT32 with different mount names e.g. "win" in above case. Then type "mount" on terminal. this will mount all your FAT32 partitions in Linux.
Also having trouble with wvdial
I don't know much about this. So no talk.
Thanks & Regards, SAMEER :))
