Hi,  Group:

I want to delete this Linux and the associated partitions from my hard 
drive.  Currently, I dual-boot SuSE 7.2 and Windows XP.  I think LILO 
was installed in the MBR.  

IIRC, that's what "boot=/dev/hda" means.  I've attached my 
/etc/lilo.conf in hopes some kind reader will verify that this is so.

I remember that there's a command line exercise that will restore the 
original MBR, but I can't find it and don't remember it.

I suppose if all else fails I can boot with a Windows 9x boot disk and 
restore the original MBR with "fdisk /MBR."

Any help?


Here's /etc/lilo.conf:

# LILO configuration file
# Start LILO global Section
# If you want to prevent console users to boot with init=/bin/bash,
#  restrict usage of boot params by setting a passwd and using the 
option
#  restricted.
#password=bootpwd
#restricted
append="BOOT_FILE=/boot/vmlinuz hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
boot=/dev/hda
#compact       # faster, but won't work on all systems.
vga=771
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=Wg:kw:Wg:Wg
read-only
prompt
timeout=80
# End LILO global Section
#
image = /boot/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/hda3
  label = linux
  initrd = /boot/initrd
 
#
image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse
  root = /dev/hda3
  label = suse
  initrd = /boot/initrd.suse
  optional
 
#
other = /dev/hda1
  label = windows
  table = /dev/hda
 
#
image = /boot/memtest.bin
  label = memtest86


Thanks, best regards, and Happy New Year to all who may choose to 
observe the custom.
