Now, by mistake the first hard disk was inserted as the second one and the second one was inserted as the first one; as I now think of it it had all taken a lot less effort to get things working just by swapping them back, but none of us here feels really comfortable touching the real hardware in there :-/Probably not what you want to hear, but the right answer is to switch the drives around.
I'd second this. Do it right instead of using work-arounds.Basically you'll have to reinstall Windows MBR ("fdisk /mbr in Win9x, and boot off the installation CD of Win2K/XP and use whatever MBR repair utility it makes available). Then get into Linux somehow (Knoppix is good for this, plus chroot - Google is your friend) and re-run lilo.
