Well, when it changes you've left an old LILO in your MBR, which is
why it doesn't work. The new one is in your boot sector instead.
You should be able to disk "FDISK /MBR" in DOS to reinstall a standard
MBR, or install the mbr package I think, to replace it, then set your
Linux root partition active.
