Hello,

I have installed Debian Sarge on the second hard disk of my computer.
Because lilo couldn't see windows , which is installed on the first disk, I
couldn't start Windows.
So i did a mbr repair of the mbr.

But now i don't know how to het into Debian to change lilo so i can work
with them together.My harddisk looks like this :

1e disk : windows
2e disk : My documents and Debian.

My question is :
How can i come back in Debian so i can work with it.

Regards,

Im a bit newbie in debian and in the list but i will try to help you. i had the same problem some time ago and i fix it doing the next. I use grub loader, but i guess that you can do the same with lilo.

1. start with a live cd (knoppix, etc.) mount the debian partition:
   mkdir /mnt/disk
   mount /dev/hdbx /mnt/disk (x in hdbx depends on your partition)

2. then do a chroot to your debian partition (the root partition). chroot /mnt/disk

3. then you can run the bootloader, with grub you can do spmething like: grub-install /dev/hda (if you want to install your loader in the hda mbr)

I hope it helps...
Saludos...
