u need to lose the mbr (master boot record.) from your hd,, I thought that
format did that anyway,,,
I think you can just make a windows boot disk from another
machine(win95/98/ME), then make sure that you have sys.com on it,, (if not
it is in the Windows/command dir of a winblows machine...)
then just boot from the floppy and type sys c:
that should overwrite lilo if you havn't already...

Where is the lilo installed so that if I want to reformat I can take it off?
Is there a way to access it after the hard drive has been reformatted
because it is still there and the only boot option is linux, which isnt
there. lol got myself into a knot... :)
