I can't believe the bad advice going on in this thread. Is LILO
a completely black art or something? It's really quite simple!
I believe your suggestion

also you could use say partition magic an make
sure that windows is the active boot partition

1. Make sure Virus protection in your BIOS is off
2. Boot from a Win95 boot disk
3. Locate SYS.COM (I think it's in C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND)
4. run SYS.COM A: C:\
5. run fdisk /mbr (win95 fdisk, not linux fdisk)

What's proabably happened is that you have LILO installed on
a partition boot record rather than the MBR, and that partition
is still active. Make sure that DOS's FDISK has the correct partition
listed as A, and run sys c: to overwrite the partition MBR.

Rerun the win98 installation program. That will overwrite the mbr, and kill
lilo.
It won't mess with your normal life win98 setttings either, except for maybe
a few
very small things.

If you ever need to remove Linux from a friend's PC again :-), run lilo -u
before removing the linux partition. That should uninstall lilo from the mbr.

lilo certainly can be installed at the beginnng of an ext2 partition.
However, I've discounted
try bootin form a boot disk and hittin sys a: c:
and fdisk /mbr again (from boot disk)

i have never heard of a linux virus, don't think one exists.. there are
worms, backdoors, exploits ..but virus?? nh.
you should take this as a sign, drop win* and use linux :)
(saw you had probs with debian, maybe try something else first? debian is
hardly for beginners)

Not a virus. It's lilo.

Yes. The Debian install puts lilo on the bootable Linux partition.
