Can any one help?  I,ve just installed a new (old) operating system Win 95
after playing with  Linux Redhat.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the LILO boot option which appears when
I first switch on.
I would normally type "DOS" to take me to Win 95 but it no longer works.

I have removed the Linux partition using FDISK and reformatted but it still
comes up LILO.

I would appreciate any help

many ways to do it, but if you have dos already on your computer, or a dos
boot disk, try fdisk /mbr

works every time :)
