Unbootable Dell - Must reinstall Lilo; how from CD?

[UnderScore]

Hmmmm try this as another way of acccessing lilo:
Gain root access

su -

Mount the Knoppix HD install partition

mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5

Chroot into the Linux partition:

chroot /mnt/hda5 /bin/bash

Then run lilo

/sbin/lilo

If either the chroot fails or the lilo fails, then there is probably something wrong with the partition table.
