Reinstall lilo to hda, using hda lilo.conf

Hello.

Before you go on, if you may know how to do what I need to do, with grub, then do read on because I am sure that it should be possible with grub too.

I want to make a machine boot from a hard disk that already has a linux install on it. I basically need to reinstall lilo to the mbr, using the files frommnt-hda1-boot (chain.b, boot.0300 & boot.b) andmnt-hda2-etc-lilo.conf.

If anyone can tell me how, please do so asap!!! I would be very grateful.

Here is my lilo.conf:

delay=40 append="panic=20" boot=-dev-hda1 map=-boot-map install=-boot-boot.b #prompt #timeout=50 message=-boot-message linear default=linux

image=-boot-vmlinuz-2.2.16-22smp read-only root=-dev-hda4 append="hdc=ide-scsi"

image=-boot-vmlinuz-2.2.16-22 label=linux read-only root=-dev-hda4 append="hdc=ide-scsi"

I copied 2 parbreastions off the drive as I through that the machine would no longer be needed as a RH7 server, and put FC2 on it.

I now find out that the machine is needed in bootable state (quickly!). I have copied the two images of the parbreastion back on to the drive - hda1 which I have asbootand hda2 which I have the rest of the old system on.

I am using the knoppix live CD.

If someone can help me with this I would most grateful!

Thanks, Tom Jermy
