By default, the first time LILO is run, it makes a copy of the MBR in a
file called boot.0300 (0300 refers o /dev/hda) in /boot (at least on
Slackware).
You can use this file and restore the MBR to the pre(initial)LILO state.
dd if=/path/to/boot.0300 of=/dev/hda
Once this is done, LILO is gone... and the system should only boot into
NT. To boot Linux, you will need a Linux bootdisk/CD
