Right now, I think the problem is that you have a MBR on hda that's wrong. you need to (somehow) remove the mbr there, and put a windows mbr on hdg. How to do this... I'm not sure. I can't find any reference to fdisk /mbr in the man pages, but there has to be a linux program that will do this.
Try using the knoppix disk in rescue mode?
Also, if you can use one of the recue utils to restore lilo to a hard drive, and boot to the linux on your disk instead of CD, then the fixes above SHOULD work.
