discussion of Getting Linux off the MBR

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

Try booting DOS and running:

fdisk /mbr

That should remove LILO.
