Does the new mbr at least allow you to boot to windows?  If so, do
that and head on over to http.us.debian.org.  Grab rescue.bin and
rawrite2.exe.  Use rawrite2 to create a rescue floppy.  Boot with the
rescue floppy, but instead of merely hitting <enter> at the syslinux
prompt, type "rescue root=/dev/hda3" (or whatever your actual root
device is, and hit <enter>.  Within seconds you should be looking at a
login prompt.  Log in as root and run lilo.
