When you reinstalled Windows, did you do any disk partitioning that resulted in a
different number of
logical drives? If you did, it will change how MS operating systems assign drive
letters and can really
mess up NT. Linux shouldn't care as long as the physical drive init sequence stays
the same.
What nearly trashed my system was a BIOS update that caused the IDE ZIP drive to be
initialized
ahead of the SCSI drives. What saved me was a SUSE 6.1 installation floppy disk. It
can locate
already installed linux systems and boot them (my installed system is RedHat 6.1).
Then I added
disk=...BIOS=... lines to tell LILO where the drives were.

Linux not only doesn't prevent you from shooting
yourself in the foot, it asks you what caliber
weapon you need to do so.
