I believe that the install routine makes a linux native format  (ext2) on 
it's own boot disk.  This is not compatable with Dos formatted disks and 
would not be readable from windows.  If you want to test it, power down, 
set your PC to boot only from floppy, stuff it in there and power up.  You 
should get a kernel that loads and runs.
