Windows have overwritten mbr containing lilo. You install explore2fs.exe
in windows. Import vmlinuz from linux partition using explore2fs and get
the loadlin from dosutils of your suse cd. now you can issue the command
from dos mode (not dos window)
loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hdxx where xx stands for the root partition.
Go into linux and do /sbin/lilo -v. You will get the menu back when you
boot.
