Hello,

I think you can use M$ fdisk /mbr to reinstall the masterbootrecord 
of windows, but I'm not shure, if it will work under NT (I only run 
win98).

So you can bootup windows (I hope so...) to backup c:\bootsect.lnx 
on a floppy or something else.

Then you can try to start your root system with the rescue cdrom or 
floppy:

mount /dev/rootpartition /mnt
chroot /mnt
edit lilo.conf or similar action
lilo
exit
umount
reboot

Maybe you can find in these documents something useful:
/usr/share/doc/lilo/README.common.problems
/usr/share/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz

I hope that will be helpful
