I had a similar problem. I have WinNT installed and
LILO got installed on top of NT loader. It may sound
wiered but it is true. So when I selected "dos" from
LILO, NT loader would get activated. The problem came
when I wanted to remove LILO from the MBR and put it
on the first sector of the Linux partition. When I did
/sbin/lilo -u the LILO did not completely go off and
the booting got stuck at LI-. The only option that I
had was to re-install lilo on the MBR. But recently I
tried doing fdisk/mbr from DOS promt, the LI- got
removed and surprisingly the NT Loader was still
intact in the MBR. BTW, fdisk/mbr was suggested by
Nagarjun when I had asked him regarding this problem,
recently at the meet at Mr. Prakash Advani's place.
