This is The Linux Documentation Project discussion list, intended for
the discussion of the creation of Linux related HOWTO documentation.
This is not the best place to go for Linux user support.
There probably are HOWTOs in the collection that would help you solve
this, however this is off-topic for the list.

You can try "linux single" at the boot: prompt. That'll put you into
single user mode. From there:
- login as root
- edit /etc/lilo.conf
- run "lilo"
- sync ; sync ; shutdown -r now & exit
If you've fixed your lilo config with this, you should then be
presented with opportunities to boot into either Win2k or Linux. Pick
one.
You really should take a look through the LDP HOWTOs as well. There's
lots of good stuff at tldp.
