Hi!

I am unclear about how exactly somebody can remove linux from a multi-boot 
machine. I am interested in two cases:

a) the machine already is multi-boot with, say, Windows98 and Windows2000 
installed.  When linux is installed, linux places lilo in the mbr and lilo 
gives give the option to either select linux or windows in which case a menu 
to choose between W98 and W2000 appears.

b) a machine only has W2000 and linux is added.

To remove linux - I was told that one only needs to boot with DOS and type 
the command "fdisk/mbr".  This then removes lilo from the master boot 
record.  So fine so good.  But HOW does it place the "loader" which gives 
the choice between W98 and W2000 (in the first case above) or how does it 
then allow for the selection of W2000 in the second case.  fdisk/mbr 
"cleans" the mbr - but it should not replace the windows options back into 
the mbr, right?

Thanks for your help!

Andrei
