[LI] Problem with Linux + NT



I have a 4 G m/c which formerly had 2, 2GB partitions running NT and 95.
On the 95 partition I installed linux ( from the PCQ CD).

Now the fdisk command shows me the following:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1      252  2024158+  83  Linux native
/dev/hda2           262      523  2104515    5  Extended
/dev/hda3           253      261    72292+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda5           262      522  2096451    7  OS/2 HPFS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The NT partition is being shown as HPFS !!!!

When I try executing /sbin/lilo -v , I get the following error:
**************************************************************************

LILO version 20, Copyright 1992-1997 Werner Almesberger

Could any guru enlighten on where I am messing things
