Reinstalling Windows XP-How to bring back LILO?

Micro420 · 03-28-2005, 09:28 PM

As we speak, I am preparing to reinstall Windows XP on my machine. I know this will wipe out my LILO, but I can get it back by popping in the Mandrake CD, right? Can someone give me the 1-2-3's of this?

Thanks

get to a root console or some sort and then type lilo to reinstall iirc.

Or you can boot off the cd and press F1 then use the restore lilo option.

I loaded the CD, pressed F1 and I am presented at a console. Now what do I do or type? I typed 'restore lilo' but that didn't do anything. I want my LILO back
