Norm. It depends what version of windows you have, but your best bet would be to set up your windows for "dual boot" so when you boot your system, a menu will come up and ask you which operating system you want to boot to - Windows or Linux.

By inserting the floppy, it boots Linux. Unfortunately, the floppy just stopped working (I get the Linux prompt, but then booting reports disk failure) for some reason. I need to retrieve several files on the Linux hard drive. I have RedHat 7.1 on cd. Can a new boot floppy be made while preserving the existing Linux installation?
