Find the rescue/install disk.  Find out (remember/guess) which
partition is your root partition, then boot the rescue disk with the
command line:

    rescue root=/dev/hda3

or whatever partition is your "/" partition.

Now run "lilo" in case it's been uninstalled, and "activate /dev/hda 3" 
or wherever lilo is installed (look at boot= in /etc/lilo.conf).
(Yes, there *is* a space there.)

You can add something like the following to the bottom of your
/etc/lilo.conf to allow dual booting, if it doesn't already:

other=/dev/hda4
  label=Win95
  table=/dev/hda
