Installed Corel Linux in win/dos partition, but can't load b/c LILO doesn't come up

[RoadkillBob]

I installed corel linux in a win/dos partition, so it is simply considered a file folder on windows. The installation went fine, but when I went to restart I simply booted Windows. LILO never came up. I have something called EZ-Drive installed, which is a Western Digital product, which I think might be part of the problem, but I'm not sure. Has anyone had similar problems with LILO not coming up, or with EZ-Drive?

These are the instructions from the Corel Web site. They worked for me.

To start Corel LINUX from Microsoft Windows 1 Click the Start button, and click Shut Down.

2 In the Shut Down dialog box, enable the Restart The Computer button, and click OK or Yes.

3 Do one of the following: If you are using Windows 95, press F4 (I had to use F8, F4 did'nt work for me) before the Windows 95 splash screen is displayed. If you are using Windows 98, press CTRL before the Windows 98 splash screen is displayed (F8 worked for me). Choose Safe Mode Command Prompt Only using the arrow keys on the keyboard, and press ENTER.

4 At the command line prompt, go to the folder where you installed Corel LINUX. Typically, Corel LINUX is installed to the C:\CDL folder, where C:\ corresponds to the drive letter. To navigate to this folder, type C:\ and press ENTER, and then type cd CDL and press ENTER. 5 Type STARTCDL.BAT.
