Hi, I have MDK 9.1 and Win98 on dual boot for a while and all work nice. Both i am overdue for a re-install of win 98 , too many error and blue screen. My question is How do i re-install Lilo after i format hda1 and re-install Win98 cause it will erase lilo and i wont have access to MDK9.1? I think i might be able to do it trought the rescue option on the MDK9.1 disk but better be safe then sorry :)

Before you start the reinstall of Win98, test the rescue option from the installation cd or bootdisk that you created during the initial install.

When you have completed installing Win98, boot into rescue mode and as root, run

/sbin/lilo

to write Lilo back to the mbr.
