Boot with you Linux boot disk. That will get you into 7.2. Then, as root
open the console. Goto /boot/grub and type ./install.sh
You may have to change the permissions too. If that is the case, just use
chmod to modify the permissions.
This will restore the boot loader. Problem solved!
Oh, and BTW Lin4Win Is a waste of time. Hope this helps!

Subject: [newbie] dual boot help
I've been struggling with a dual boot installation of
second gen win98 and Mandrake7.2. I understand that
7.2 may be a beta release?
Anyhow, when I have the dual boot setup and have
Mandrake Linux 7.2 running happily - The windows 98se
is frought with problems - applications freezing or
not starting, games not playing, cdr being
unreliable..etc.
I'm an end-user: so I use McAffe utilities on
windows98se - and Windows gets better!
Unfortunately, now Lilo isn't working and I now no
longer can boot into Linux Mandrake -only windows- on
restart.
Should I be using the Lin4Win product and allow
Windows to monopolize my machine? (333mhz intel P2,
128mg ram, 6 and 18 gig hardrives)
Is another version of Windows friendlier with Lilo and
Linux?
Is there a way I can make a boot floppy to access my
Linux partition now I no longer can boot to it?
(I do need widows to run many programs I've become
very accustomed to: Dreamweaver, photoshop,
illustrator, flash...)
Thank you for help and advice.
