Can't Boot Linux Anymore

PROBLEM: You've installed Linux and everything is fine(naturaly). Then you make a change to your Windows or Windows NT system, and you can't boot linux anymore...

SOLUTION: Various operating systems tend to think that they are the only operating system on the hard drive or on the system. Therefore, when they are installed or updated, they write things to the Master Boot Record(MBR). This process overlays the Linux boot loader(LILO/GRUB) and stops you from booting Linux. The best correction requires an ounce of prevention: Make an Emergency bootdisk during installation. Keep this disk handy when you update your system(or any significant system event like repartitioning your hard drive or rebuilding your kernel). Boot using the bootdisk and log in as Root and type lilo on the command line. This repairs the MBR by reinstalling LILO.
---------------------------------------------------------

I was using GRUB with my Redhat 8 & windows 98 dual boot comp. Then I upgraded CPU,Mobo and reinstalled Win98. Now it boots directly to Win98. I can boot to linux using boot disk. Ok, same problem up to here but I am wandering whether there is a command like "lilo" as you say for GRUB also?

Edit: I have two Harddrives;
RH8-> Primary slave
Win98 -> Primary master
and I put GRUB onto MBR previously.

soory this is new.

My linux system just refused to boot up completely, stopping at 'Freeing unused Kernel memory: 228k freed'

what do i do?

moses, or someone

i've been to the websites but they still don't help my problem...

i have xp and rh9 on my system (both on separate drives, xp being the master, and rh the slave)

after installing rh9, the boot screwed up, so i booted with a xp cd and through the repair mode, i typed "fixboot" then "fixmbr" which reset my mbr.

and after that i kept booting to xp and the only way to boot rh9 was to insert the boot disk

so i tried installing lilo on the mbr and it still doesn't work....and the only way to start rh9 is to insert a boot disk

so can someone help me configure lilo or another dual boot starter please?
