Hi Jernej,


its awful, isnt it ? windows just replaces your bootload, with
no question and no conformation... but your system is not
lost of course. just do the following:

1) boot from the Debian CD
2) change from the installation screen to a console (ALT F1 or ALT F2)
3) mount your root partition, for example: mount /dev/hda2 /mnt
4) if you have more than one partition, mount the partion with your binary
files;
i think lilo is at /usr/bin/ (not sure here): cd /mnt; mount /dev/hda5
/mnt/usr
5) change your root partition: chroot /mnt
6) now you are on your old system, edit lilo.conf and add needed lines to
boot windows.
7) execute lilo: lilo

Thats all. Good Luck,
Philipp
