Here's the problem. I had LILO installed to boot linux from
partition 2 on drive 1. DOS was installed on partition 1 on
drive 1. I installed Norton Disk Lock, which seemed to have encrypted
the entire partition table, plus any other relevant information
pertaining to the disks. What happened after this - it rebooted, and
asked me for my Norton Disk Lock password - all went fine, but then it
tried loading LILO and kept locking at 'LIL' hard lock.

So - so far i've tried using Norton Disk Doctor to rebuild the partition
table - no luck since it's probably encrypted - and only searches for DOS
partitions. I've tried using the Norton Disk Lock un-install package
which says 'Norton Disk Lock' is not installed. I could care less about
logical partition 1 (DOS), however is there anything that can search
through my disk - and find the beggining of partition #2 (linux) -
rebuilding the partition table?
