 I'm trying to remove the Linux LILO boot manager from the boot sector-- so I
booted from the W2K CD, and eventually got to the 'R'epair option... from
there, there are two options-- 'C' - Recovery Console which checked for the
location of the \WinNT folder, then restarted without removing LILO.

 So I tried the other option, 'R' for Repair-- which DID ask for the recovery
diskette-- and gave manual options to repair the boot sector... but which also
failed to remove LILO.

Ho Hum!
