Windows kindly rewrote me a new MBR

[orangepoptart]

*Sigh* Windows kindly rewrote my master boot record which lilo was functioning on and now I can't get into slackware.
Now wait! I know what your thinking why didn't he make a emergency boot disk. Well he did and then he lost it.
Can anyone tell me how I can get back into slackware to reconfigure lilo/run setup again (about all I know is what I did to configure it). Anything that stops short of ruining my new windows install with :mad: PARTITION MAGIC. Its what screwed this thing up in the first place.
I was re-paritioning more space for linux :D (shouldn't everyone) when It attacked my windows system. Now since im not linux independent I still have to use windows for a few things so it was nessicary I get it rebuilt.
In the end can someone upload a .img with the boot disk. I know I will have to reconfigure some files on the disk but it would be a real help. THANKYOU!

boot your redhat cd into rescue mode and type lilo at the prompt.

it is slackware, not red hat :D

BTW, you can boot to slackware in rescue mode without running al from cd -- and it should be fully functional and with X ....:D

just run lilo on the command prompt and you can continue to use your slackware as usual. there is no need to reboot if you have never compiled a new kernel after installing from the CD or you are happy with the CD's kernel.
