How to get rid of LILO Bootloader!?!

message from Kenny on 7 Jun 2004
I installed mandrake 10 on the second partition of my hard drive, and it
added the lilo bootloader that enables me to choose between linux and
windows.
However I want to get rid of linux and get rid of the lilo bootloader.
How must I go about doing that without destroying my windows xp
installation?

Please help

boot with the xp cd and log on to the recovery console, type fixmbr.

I had done this a while back but I had forgoten how to do it.

I am now on Knoppix that is far safer since it runs from the cd...

use partition magic 8 or later to delete the partitions. it will leave the
lilo however. you need to boot from a boot floppy with dos and type at the a
prompt fdisk /mbr
