Thanks. I have a large drive. I guess the lilo got confused when I trashed
my partitions.

If I am not mistaken 0x81 has something to do with your hard disk and the
BIOS. I think it is sort of an address used by BIOS to identify hard
disks. In my system 0x81 refers to my hdc.
With regards to your problems, try removing your partitions with the
partition tool that you used in making your partitions. Also, try booting
from a linux floppy distro like tomsrtbt which includes fdisk. You can
also try gnuparted. BTW, do you have a large drive?
