Well tell you what try adding another hard drive, small one maybe, I found when i have two hard disks that i can install lilo to either one and it will boot to linux. Just make shure you have a partition somewhere to install linux to. Linux will read a fat32 so dont worry. find a cheap 100 meg hard drive and install lilo to the MBR of it, use /boot and the mount point for it, or even the swap file.
