Hi,

I have a hard disk which used to slackware linux on it. From DOS I did
an FDISK on it and created a primary partition. I then formatted the
drive. However, every time the computer boots off the hard disk it still
runs through LILO. Have tried many ways to get this off the MBR with
little success. Does anyone out there have a possible solution ??

Cheers,
Rajiv Niles.
