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