The quick and dirty way to get back into windoze (while blowing away LILO for now) is to boot to DOS and rewrite the master boot record. Your windoze recovery disk should have the appropriate files present. Simply run "fdisk /mbr" from the DOS command line. Then run "fdisk" and select your windoze partition as "active". Then remove your recovery disk and reboot. It should come up with windoze. You can fix LILO later by booting from your madrake install CD.
