I know this works with win95/98, not sure about win2000. After reinstalling windows simply boot with your LM boot floppy and run lilo (just type "lilo" or "/sbin/lilo" without the quotes in a console as root). This will overwrite the mbr. It pays to first check lilo (/etc/lilo.conf) to ensure your boot partitions are as they should be in case you made changes whilst installing win. skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works
