    i insatlled linux, and lilo, but the other day i wanted to uninstall linux, so foolishly i did a quicky with:
    format c: /u /s
    but later found out that lilo was still resident, and it took a few hours of hard repartitioning etc... until i found this command:

    fdisk /mbr

    this rewrites the master boot record.

    i thought i'd put this here to save any one else who may have the same problem a hell of a lot of stress


    Thanx, for your reply(s)
