I don't do a thing, and tell lilo to boot from hda, you will get setup
   

where 
 

lilo gives a choice called windows, and that will give you the
   

NTbootloader, 
 

at least it works that way for me with win2kpro. of course when you get
   

right 
 

down to it, I ain't sure where the NT bootloader sits. 
   



Yeah, but that will give me two boot loaders, if I can add Linux to the NT
then I only have one
 

I think you ask the wrong question.

You really want to know how to remove lilo that you are forced to install ?

On a dos prompt,use a dos switch,
fdisk/mbr
that removes lilo,
you will be left with windblows bootloader.
you already know how to configure it to boot linux.
Personally , I've tried both methods and would still elect to chain boot 
load with lilo.
