care.

Create a DOS boot floppy with CD-ROM support, and set your bios to
boot
I could boot form the CD, but I still got Lilo, then it would give me
NTDetect failed (not found? Something). Sux.

try booting of a win95/98 startup disk and run
fdisk /mbr
this will restore the mbr to 'normal' and let you reinstall NT or whathever
os without lilo popping up all the time
BUT: to regain acces to your linux partitions, you will need a linux startup
disk and rerun lilo to reinstall it.
Try using a winblows boot disk... that'll skip it without having to
uninstall...

Can't you boot off the NT CD? If not, you should boot to DOS from a
floppy, and run the NT setup program to make the NT boot floppies. Then
boot from those.

I've tried Linuxconf from KDE, but it doesn't stop it.
Boot to a Dos/Windows floppy
In 95 and 98 fdisk /mbr resets the master boot recorddon't know if this
works for NTIt gets rid of the lilo boot which sounds like what you
want...
