LiLo problems

[bmrmrb]

i recently installed knoppix to my hdd next to windows, and used LILO to choose between the two. i wanted something different as knoppix is limited in the fact that it is designed to run from CD, and i wanted to try out different linux features such as Gnome. i picked up a free DVD with mandrake 9.2 and installed it this morning, but also installed the version of LILO that came with the CD, thinking that it would add mandrake to my existing boot list. it now boots to the LILO that came with mandrake and i cannot use knoppix or windows(because they are not listed), or mandrake infact, as the install must have failed (i just get the normal checking and configuring of hardware devices and then a blank screen). i want to know how to delete the mandrake LILO and restore my system to how it was before. i am using my parents computer to write this message.

mandrake likes to install its own boot loader, but it accomidates all your operating systems. you will need to boot up with the mandrake install dvd > then when it has loaded up it gives you the option to press F1 or Enter, press enter > now on your keyboard type 'rescue' followed by Enter again > you will be presented now with another screen where it gives you the option to restore the origional windows boot file or re-install the mandrake boot loader. so youll want to go down to re-install boot loader. then you just finish up like it tells you to.

sorry i just realised that i made a mistake in my first post. on the first screen you are presented with when you boot up you need to press F1 for more options, not enter.
