022. I removed Linux from my system, but now DOS won't boot because LILO is still there. How do I remove LILO?

If you have a version of DOS at least as recent as DOS 5.0 then you can insert your DOS boot diskette and boot from it. At the DOS prompt, type

fdisk /mbr

to remove LILO from the Master Boot Record (MBR).

 

Continue to:

• prev: 021. I (re/)installed windows on the same hard drive as Linux but now I no longer get the LILO prompt and can't boot into Linux. What should I do?
• Index
• next: 023. I want to add '.' to root's PATH, to allow me to not have to put ./ in front of every local command I type. But I hear this is a bad thing. Why?

Share and Enjoy
