if you installed lilo in the master boot record of hda (which you probably
did) you may want to try typing fdisk /mbr at a dos prompt .. that will
delete lilo from the master boot record and you should be fine.. i have
windows on my primary hard disk and linux on my secondary and i always
uninstall lilo that way before i reinstall or install a new distro and it
doesnt affect my windows OS at all .. word to the wise you may want to back
up your information before trying this as your system may differ from mine..
i make no guarantees .. good luck :)
