Some time ago I installed linux on my machine. A while later I removed it
from the hard disk and I re-formatted the hard drive, I tried to install
NT4, but when the system re-boots after the 1st phase, lilo boots instead
and I can't continue with the installation of NT.
I tried to boot from a dos floppy and try to transfer the system files but
nothing.
Is there a way to remove lilo from the master boot record so that I can
install any operation system again? It seems to me that the hard disk is
unsuable now.
Any help would be appreciated.

Mauro
