but getting back to lilo is very easy!
if you made a mandrake boot disk during install , or can make one now, do so .
have it handy, and go ahead and reinstall windows. ( just do it on top - don't need to format nothin' )
once your done and windows is back up and running, simply reboot with the mandrake disk in the floppy drive
and boot from that. when it shows this boot: type linux single and hit enter.
when it boots up you will be in console mode. at the login type root and enter password.
now just type lilo and enter .
That's it !!!
now lilo is back and you can dual boot again.
If you want to know how to triple or quadruple boot mail me off list.

triple booting 98lite, Mandrake 8.0 and 9.0

My Linux question: When I reinstall windowsSE on a dual boot Linux box, will that overwrite my Linux MBR, and what should I do to prevent, or correct that? Or, will I have to reinstall Mandrake 9.0 after I reinstall windows 98 to get the original lilo mbr reinstalled? Is there a simple procedure for copying the lilo config file, and then replacing the new win98 mbr with lilo? I'm not a linux expert, and am unclear on this.
Many thanks,
Robert Crawford
