Boot your knoppix. Mount your / partition. IIRC knoppix mount's partiotions with the nodev flag. If it does, remount your / partition without the dev flag (e.g. umount /dev/hda3 ; mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 should do the job). Now you can run "chroot /mnt/hda3" (or whereever you mountet your root partition, and now /sbin/lilo. Problem solved. Oh, you might want to check /etc/lilo.conf (after you run chroot), if there is a working other-entry for your Windows.
