You'll find that the hoardes of files were actually copied *into* the
linuxsys.img file (presuming this is the > 500Mb file in the lux4win
directory).  You should also find some small files there (eg.  vmlinuz,
loadlin.exe, maybe something.bat) and others.  The usual way to start it is to
run the something.bat which should use loadlin to actually start up linux.
