'lilo -u' will restore the orignal mbr which is saved in your /boot directory. Don't forget to remove the partitions with linux, because you can't remove them with Windows unless XP is able to do that. DOS couldn't. I have used fdisk from the linux install and remove the linux partitions, do 'w' and that's the end of that - no more linux. You could always use a rescue disk later otherwise. Of course, you want to do the lilo -u command first.
