Haveing just reinstalled linux after scandisk thought lilo was a boot sector
virus and messed up my partition table, I now have to reinstall windows. I
really want to get windows and linux installed but I know installing windows
will overwrite lilo. Before I start, would someone tell me the following:
how to get lilo back on
how to create a boot disk to load linux after lilo goes.
how to back up my partition table to a floppy, if that is possible, in case
it is corrupted again.
Does anyone know the elusive fact of what secters the partition table is
stored in, and where lilo is on the hard drive? I have a program that can
copy sectors to a file so I could backup those essential sectors.
