A few weeks ago I installed Linux on my 386 to see what it was like, but because my PC has only 4Mb I
decided to go back to DOS. I did not uninstall LILO before reformatting my hard disk. Since then when I
boot my computer, it boots via LILO and crashes. The only way I found is to boot via a floppy disk. I did
try to re-format the partition but it does not seem to work.

Is there anybody out there who would know how to get rid off LILO ? Something to format ALL the tracks of
the hard disk would probably do the job, but I don't have such software.

Thank's.
