People, this is not a case of a deleted mbr. The OP has had his boot
partition delted and wants to know if he can recover his system without
reinstalling Linux.
I think that it might just be possible. Easiest thing to do is to get
another persons HD of the same OS, change the partition type to linux
and then mkfs it, and cp -a /newhd/boot to your /boot.
If that is not possible, you could boot into rescue mode, mount your
system completely and force an install from the kernel rpm.
rpm --force the install.
Check your /boot for vmlinux-<kernel.version>, module-info, and system
map files. Then in the chroot, run lilo, which should get your system up
and running.
Remember to change the partition type from windows to Linux so that
windows no longer sees it.
