If you don't have boot disk, as many, please do like this.
Get hold of explore2fs.exe from net. Install it in windows partition. Run it.
It will show you the linux partition. From there export vmlinuz to windows
c: drive. See what is the root partition for linux if you don't remember.
Copy loadlin.exe to c:
Now boot in DOS mode not DOS window.
use the command
loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hdax where x is the correct root partition number
ie 1, 2, 3, etc.
Now you can go to linux. As root in console type
/sbin/lilo -v.
Now your lilo is back.
