i have the util on a cd... but my dos boot disk seems to be corrupted and i cant seem to boot win2k on the first partition... no matter how many times i uninstall lilo, i still get the half lilo prompt (LI then nothing)... i think i might need to format the MBR, but i forget how to do that too (i just did it a few weeks ago, how sad)
