I currently have a system where LILO controls the boot loader.

I would like to get back to dos boot screen with Win2K and XP if i can.

Can anyone suggest any help

System is as follows:
Bootable drive 30G Win2K and XP (15G each)
Linux drive 20G

When linux was installed LILO was installed as well but on the bootable drive, i cant get into Linux as it crashes every time.

Any suggestions???

boot from a DOS bootdisk (or windows rescue disk, you did make them during install, no?)
then start "fdisk /mbr" and reboot to re-activate your windows.

linux can be booted from a dos disk too, if you have loadlin.

[edit]
another idea: try to stop lilo pushing and holding down your SHIFT key.
then, when it says "LILO: " you press tab to see the kernel images names. say its name is "linux", you would enter then:

linux init=/bin/bash
or
linux single

to get a console and start repairing.
