Is there any way to reinstall Lilo after Windows update? I have just upgraded
from Windows 98 to SE2, and my Lilo does not work anymore.

Is there any way to just access Linux partition without re-install Linux again?

Thanks for the help.

Regards

Chi Lin,

Boot into linux with the boot disk you (should) have created during the
installation. Than run lilo -v as root. That should do the trick.

I did it by using FDISK to make the partition containing my boot manager
the Active partition, once again. On my box, this is the way things
looked prior to installing Windoze upgrade. The (A) signifies the
Active Partition.

Partition 1: PQ's Boot Magic (A)
Partitoni 2: Windoze98
Partition 3: Linux Swap (My Linux partition is on /dev/hdb)

The way things looked post Windoze upgrade to 98SE:

Partition 1: PQ's Boot Magic
Partitoni 2: Windoze98 (A)
Partition 3: Linux Swap
-----

Fdisk changed the Active Partition with relative ease, and PQ's Boot
Magic once again controlled the situation.

Hope this helps...

You'll need your boot disk (got one, right?). Start your pc with the bootdisk and
once you get to the prompt, login and run lilo again. LILO will rewrite your MBR
that Windows overwrote. Done, isn't it great?

Get your lilo boot flop that you used to install linux the first time.
then you'll be able to enter your linux installation (i hope, worked for me)
then you run lilo again, and all should be well.

Some if you didn't create a boot floppy during install then you can get a prebuild
boot floppy image from
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/recovery/rescue02.zip . After unzipping
this file follow the readme. Its pertty straight foward. You do need to know which
partition you install linux. If linux is on the first partition on
the first harddrive then your partition name is /dev/hda1, 2 partition on 1st drive
is /dev/hda2, etc...
( Lets assume that linux is on /dev/hda2 ) If you create lots of partitions for
linux the one your interested in
is the root partition ( e.g. the one mounted as / ). After you no that boot from
the floppy. Create a directory
called /mnt/root. Then type the following two commands.
# mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /mnt/root
# lilo -r /mnt/root

Now reboot, without the floppy, and lilo should be back. Let me know if you have
problems.
