Edit the files:
/etc/fstab
/etc/lilo.cfg
And change all references from hda to hdc
As root, give this command:
prompt# lilo
prompt# shutdown -h now
Turn the machine off. Swap your drives.
Boot machine up. At the lilo prompt you can hit the tab key
to see your options. It should still boot linux by default.
Install Windows 95 on hda.
Test LILO for booting either one. If you want Win95 to boot
by default, then edit /etc/lilo.cfg so that the Win95 entry
comes first on the list. Run prompt# lilo after ANY changes
to /etc/lilo.cfg to make them effective.
That's it.
