lilo trashed, when booting from cd, lilo command is not present
 

So windows trashed lilo, i thought i knew how to get it back, Wrong i was. So I boot from slackware cd, but lilo command isnt present, not in /sbin or /bin either. I think its because im not actually on my system per-se. I can find my usr or home directories, so I'm thinking the cd is loading some system of its own? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS i have Slackware version 10.1
PPS I also dont have a floppy drive :(

Thank you in advance.

From the live CD, try to mount your filesystem (for example mount /dev/hda1 to /mnt/hda1).

Then use chroot /mnt/hda1. Then CD to the drive and you should find lilo under sbin....

or before you boot try typing "root=/dev/<<partition name>>" without the "" of course. then you will boot into your system as if you used lilo. Then you can rerun lilo.

Score, thanks for the help. That was getting quite annoying. Thanks a bunch both of you.
