messing around with lilo I managed to completely prevent myself from being able to access my Mandrake 9.1.

I had settings in Lilo for windows, Linux, hda1 and map.

I got tired of seeing the hda1 and map at load time so i tried removing the entries from my lilo and now the system boots straight into windows (by by lilo?).

any how I would like to be able to restore my access to Linux preferably without a Linux boot disk ( I like to have some control) is there a way to access these files in dos or windows?
