    Well, if you had 'doze on partition 1 you could use the utility found
    at the link below to get the data off partition 3 assuming it is indeed
    ext2.

    Baring installing windoze on a linux box to do that, the best bet it to
    get lilo fixed. Hopefully someone will have some titbits for you on
    that one.
