but I think my lilo.conf is OK:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/gavin8or# more /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/sda3
default=Ubuntu
map=/boot/map
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz initrd=/initrd.img
root=/dev/sda3
label=Ubuntu
read-only
I'm going to try and fix my partition map/MBR. What should I use, fdisk or parted? In linux or OSX?

It looks so. Another thing is tha active partition in the DOS partition
table. If the Linux partition is marked as active, The bootblock will
boot Linux instead of Windows.

Posting your lilo.conf and the output of fdisk -l as root would help
here.
