Updating myself!  So, I was using Timo's Linux rescue disc to boot up and 
try and fix things (I've used it alot over the last few years for various 
reasons), but I decided to boot back up with the GPartEd disc and it was 
still seeing the partitions just fine, so I was kinda stumped.  Then I saw 
the little "Terminal" icon at the bottom of the screen, so I fired up fdisk 
in that terminal and it saw the drive just fine!  I mounted/chrooted/etc and 
got Lilo unconfused, and now everything's booting fine!  Perhaps the version 
of fdisk on the copy of Timo's rescue disc I have was not what it needed to 
be or something?  At any rate, all's well!
