Getting Linux back - pls hlp



Dear all - I've done something bad. Pls help.
I had (have?) Linux RH5.2 on one partition and '98 on another. I boot(ed)
with LILO.
When i go into Windows, Norton used to ask "your boot sector has changed.
Repair ? Continue ?" and I used to continue..
Recently, my brother (elder) typed Repair !!! And now I dont get the LILO
prompt, so the machine goes straight to Windows.

So i used the boot/rescue diskette (made with mkbootdisk that came with 5.2)
but it hangs saying "Cant install monitor" or something like that.

How can I get Linux back without loosing / reformatting. I am sure it should
be easy !

Cheers, RK.
