I am running mandrake 10.1-If i update will it allow me to reinstall the bootloader on my first hard disk without modifying my home directory.

Thanks

Possibly (if /home is on a separate partition or you tell it not to format /) however if all you want to do is install lilo in a different drive's boot sector then just edit /etc/lilo.conf (it has a good man page), change the boot drive (boot= option, should now be boot=/dev/hda) and run "lilo" (all as root).
