It sounds like you've destroyed the mbr in the process and that's probably
why you cant boot up. I'm not sure how to correct that problem. I would have
figured if you booted to the Red Hat setup disk, that you could have used
the recovery feature and salvaged the mess.  You should be able to use the
setup disk to re-install Linux, only tell it to format a partition that
doesn't contain anything you need to keep (like /home as an example) and you
can during this process re-install Lilo in the mbr and make a new boot disk
at the same time. This way, you wont be re-installing the whole OS, only a
small partition that doesn't have anything you need. You might even be able
to tell it not to format any partitions and have it still re-install Lilo -
this I'm not positive will work, but is worth trying. Or have a buddy make
you a copy of his boot disk. I could e-mail you one, but I believe you'd
have to receive it on a Linux computer so that dos wouldn't rename any of
the files.

Good Luck,
Dustin
