I need to edit my lilo.conf file because I think I messed it up. I wanted to dual boot XP and Mandrake by using LILO. I don't know if a specified the right path to windows....I can dual boot by just editing which drive to boot off of in the BIOS settings so it's no big deal, I just can't get to my linux drive now.

Is there anyway to mount the linux drive in XP and edit the lilo.conf file manually through textpad or something?

Doubt it, even if you used ext2 I know it's not natively supported and I really wouldn't trust any of the drivers I've seen.

You're best bet is to get a rescue boot floppy and use that.

There may be third party utilities out there for this. Google it and see if you find anything.
