For those of you who are familiar with what this does, I got a question for ya:

I'm in a big dilemma right now: I used to have two hdds, one with WinXP, one with Linux, where hda1 had LILO installed, in order for me to dual boot.

I had to remove the second harddrive because I formatted it and put Win2k on it (for the girlfriend). Each time I boot off the WinXP harddrive, LILO can't find the kernel. Doh - it's not there.

So I tried to fdisk/mbr off a Win98SE CD, but it told me that the "Master Boot Record could not be updated" .... Bad news, I can't even clean my MBR out.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this ? All I need to do is getting rid of LILO ... and NO, format c: ain't an option, new partitions aren't an option either.

Thanks !
