Where did you install bootloader (/etc/grub.conf says so)?
Most of modern operating systems don't require their partition to be active for
booting - here I'm not sure about Windows95, as it is already rather ancient
and I don't remember where exactly this was changed.
To boot your windows I suggest
- changing the windows section to:
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
which assures the active flag is moved to Windows partition.
However, you also need to assure that GRUB is installed to MBR, otherwise next
time Windows will be loaded directly.
There is no universal solution - some versions of Windows put their stuff to
MBR which is not good to be overwritten, some need active partition which
forces you to overwrite it. I think that fitting with more recent Windows in
the default configuration is more important.
Please, let me know if the suggested fix works for you.
PS: We do not support installation to extended partition - we require a primary
partition for bootloader.
