Solution: Find your Linux boot floppy ( lets hope youve got one eh)....login to your root account
open a terminal and type /sbin/lilo
this will restore Lilo (linuxloader) for you. 
The file that configures lilo is /etc/lilo.conf
I suggest  tweaking this file to your satisfaction before you run /sbin/lilo
Now where will you find the various options that lilo.conf uses.............hmmm...let me see
ah yes...type man lilo.conf in a terminal
edit lilo.conf
you will then have to run /sbin/lilo ...... each time you edit lilo.conf in fact.
hope this helps....
e-mail me if you need more help
