FIPS and win95...



Hi guys, i kinda need some help here...
I just installed Red Hat Linux 4 on my computer and it works great. 
The problem is, I used FIPS to repartition my drive, and now win95
doesn't recognize the extra partition( ext2 partition... )
I thought that if i reinstalled win95 to the same directory, it would
run normally, but now my registry is a little messed up, and all my
preferences are gone.  How can i do to make the partition visible to
windows? i doesn't need to be readable, just visible in a way it won't
conflict with the registry...

I also installed LILO in the MBR, so now i have the choice of OS at the
boot...

Linux is working just fine, Xwindows is functioning perfectly, but i
still couldn't configure my network settings, although i could connect
to my ISP, i didn't have a DNS configured, but could ftp and telnet to
any IP, the browser didnt work though.

i have a 133 pentium, 16 RAM, 1.2 HD.
/dev/hda1	win95 partition		900+ Megs
/dev/hda2	linux_native   ext2	250+ Megs

could someone help me out???

i appreciate any help i can get...
I REALLY dont want to reformat my HD and reinstall EVERYTHING.
Thanx.

Alex
