Trouble getting Grub or LILO to boot into Redhat 9

I have a RAID setup, 2x 120gb and then another 120gb drive. RAID has windows XP, and I installed RH9 on the other 120gb drive, however it wont boot to lilo, grub, or even acknowledge that RH is installed. I have used a boot disk, but it says something like "image problem" when I type GRUB or LILO in the command line!


Any help?
 
Where did you install LILO or GRUB? Do you know what partition RH is install on? You should be able to mount the root partition at the boot disk boot prompt and then get into RH and run lilo to install it in the MBR.
 
I'm by no means a linux guru, but I've pretty easily reinstalled LILO when I updated to XP and overwrote my MBR. My Linux partition root partition was the second partition on my first drive, so it was /dev/hda2 so I booted to some linux floppies and used: mount root=/dev/hda2 then it booted right up and I just ran lilo again to reinstall lilo.
