You need to boot from a linux CD. Once you've got a shell, you can mount
your existing linux partition (e.g., mount /dev/hda /mnt), then run lilo
again:

  chroot /mnt lilo -v

Once you've got linux booting again, then you'll want to edit your
lilo.conf file to add the winnt partition to the list of bootable
partitions and run lilo again. 

Don't listen to the people who say that you can't boot winnt from lilo.
Any recent version of lilo can do this easily.

Regards,
Dave Carrigan
