Need to reinstall lilo - don't have boot-disk...
Hi!
I installed both Knoppix and Windows and it worked.
I cloned the HD and the copy didn't work. Lilo crashed.
So I installed another boot-loader and now only windows is bootable.
How can I install lilo again? I have access to lilo.conf via Knoppix-CD.

is it just :
lilo -C (path of your lilo.conf)
after you boot into KNOPPIX CD ? Of course, you need to change the content of lilo.conf to match your HD settings.
Without further information, not much I can think of.

What I usually do is,
boot to knoppix cd
mount the hd partition ex: mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
(use the proper device for your partition)
chroot to the partition, chroot /mnt/hda2
then edit /etc/lilo.conf with your favorite editor
then run /sbin/lilo -v

Mount the partition that contains /etc/lilo.conf make any changes necessary to lilo.conf then sudo chroot /mnt/hd?? /sbin/lilo -v to commit lilo to the MBR. replace ?? with correct drive letter and partition number you mounted.
