I was using slackware linux and windows 2000 on my system(one harddisk) but recently i have reinstalled windows 2k with ntfs file system but after that it has rewriten the MBR and my lilo don't boot now it directly loads windows and i don't have slackware cd's from which i have installed slackware so is there a tool to make a bootable floppy(bootdisk) disk and then reinstall lilo

google is the key, my friend. Look there, first link :

Just create the kernel disk, you don't need the root disk as you already have slackware on your hdd. Use the boot option "root=/dev/hdXY" to point to the correct root device.

Knoppix can also help when you're in a bind by allowing you to mount your slack partitions and fix whatever's wrong.
