Edison
I am sorry you encountered the problems you did. The advise I gave you
worked on my system with no problems.
I am also sorry that this response dosn't seem timely but if you check
the time on the list your message did not get posted until 9:45 PM.
Here are 2 ways you can remove LILO. Run fdisk/MBR or you can reinstall
Windows95and or 98, it won't work with Win2000, they will automaticly
overwrite LILO.
Once again I am sorry that my advise caused you problems.
