no linux is in hda7 (linux partition) windows is in hda1 and hda5.

Without grub or lilo how will you configure windows boot loader for DSL.

You don't, if it's a linux partition windows can't see it. It's Just like if you boot up windows and look at the drives it shows, it won't have the linux ones. long story short, you can't boot it if windows won't see it.

any way how can we install in fat partition . normally DSL comes with ext2 or ext3. I dont know much about the syslinux version. I mean, in normal DSL  is there a way by which we can have a dual boot of linux and windows in windows boot loader?
