I've made a bit of a blunder!
I have installed lilo on the master boot record of my hard
disk instead of on the root partition for linux.
i.e. lilo is on /dev/hda instead of /dev/hda3
Does anybody know away of restoring my master boot record?
The disk is a 163Mb IDE drive with three partitions..
/dev/hda1 = 20Mb DOS (Drive C:)
/dev/hda2 = 16Mb Linux Swap Partition
/dev/hda3 = Linux Extended file System
Please help..

To overwrite the Master Boot Record, start MS-DOS' FDISK command with
the option "/MBR". This will write the standard MS MBR.
No guarantees whatsoever! :)

Had to do find it myself because i wrote 512 bytes onto the first bytes
my HD, you know the master boot record, partition table etc.
(Norton utilities found it, copied it and my computer is alive).
I think this proves how stupid Dos is and how careful you have to be
when playing with power (LINUX).
