Reloading LILO

Ill be first to admit Im not a Linux guy.I have a system which is dual boot using LILO linux version is 7.2 enigma.The Windows 98 installation is corrupted and need to be reinstalled.Now its been my experience that this will overwrite the boot record and the Linux boot loader will disappear.My question is after I do a dirty install of Windows is there a fast and easy way to put the boot record back to way it was before so that I do not have to load linux all over again afterwards.???Thnx

You should make a boot disk in Linux first.
