"fdisk /mbr" in a dos environment will wipe the mbr and lilo (if it was installed in the mbr) but beware if u have a dual boot system, dunno how this would effect the boot loaders of windows --quay
Re: [newbie] help a poor goober out with lilo
If it is 95/98/ME then fdisk /mbr will get rid of Lilo and will restore your windows mbr when windows reboots. If you have 2000 then there are two comands, first fixboot and then fix mbr. That will repair the bootsector and the MBR. You should create a boot disk for linux. Then you can boot into linux when you want to, but don't have to sit there and wait around for which OS to boot into whenever you need to reboot the machine.

Re: [newbie] help a poor goober out with lilo
Where is the lilo installed so that if I want to reformat I can take it off? Is there a way to access it after the hard drive has been reformatted because it is still there and the only boot option is linux, which isnt there. lol got myself into a knot... :) - Original Message - From: "H.J.Bathoorn" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 1:01 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] help a poor goober out with lilo On Thursday 15 February 2001 12:34, you wrote: I got it on my laptop now I cant get it off.

If your referring to REMOVING LILO, boot up with a Win 9x boot disk and type "fdisk /mbr" This will remove lilo from the MBR on your hard drive and allow you to boot WinDozE again. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of H.J.Bathoorn Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 12:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] help a poor goober out with lilo On Thursday 15 February 2001 12:34, you wrote: I got it on my laptop now I cant get it off.

RE: [newbie] help a poor goober out with lilo
u need to lose the mbr (master boot record.) from your hd,, I thought that format did that anyway,,, I think you can just make a windows boot disk from another machine(win95/98/ME), then make sure that you have sys.com on it,, (if not it is in the Windows/command dir of a winblows machine...) then just boot from the floppy and type sys c: that should overwrite lilo if you havn't already... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Scott Cundiff Sent: Friday, 16 February 2001 2:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] help a poor goober out with lilo Where is the lilo installed so that if I want to reformat I can take it off?

Boot with a DOS disk. At the command prompt type : 1) FDISK /MBR 2) SYS A: C: This will create a new MBR an give you back control of your PC. --- "Scott Cundiff" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where is the lilo installed so that if I want to reformat I can take it off?
