    All right. I decided to boot from CD and run fsck on my root partition. It fixed an INCREDIBLE nunber of disk errors, now partitionmagic says that the ext2 superblock contains illegal information (I'm running ext3). At this point I'd like to just uninstall lilo from my MBR, format my partitions, and just try installing knoppix again. Is there anny way to get rid of lilo without booting from the HD? Again, thanks for all the help.

    wait !!
    you sait your nt loader is still working so lilo isn't on your MBR so do nothing

    to see if lilo is on mbr do

    boot from cd
    in console sudo hexedit /dev/hda and look for LILO in the first line
