about the LILO!
hi guys
i dual boot my box with xp and linux mandrake.
i want to uninstall linux so i removed the partition using partition magic
then the lilo is still installed
i try a win98se startup disk to boot my box to uninstall the LILo through the fdisk/mbr command
and it doesnt work:(
so is there any other way to uninstall LILO??
peace out

Hey Hey
That's odd that fdisk /mbr won't work.... Anyways MS seems to have a solution if it doesn't work for ya...

It is possible that LILO is not installed in the Master Boot Record,
but in the windows partition boot sector. In that case, the command
would be SYS C:
Also, on some computers there is a setting in the BIOS for
protecting the MBR from being corrupted by viruses.
Make sure it isn't engaged.
:cool:

I think the command is FIXBOOT or, nah wait that'll probably work but there's another one might be FIXMBR, I can't remember right now, go into recovery mode and check the help menu it'll give you the right command. I do know it's not fdisk anymore, why they changed it I dunno.
