It's 29 Mar 96  20:51,
We'll return to amtfo@amsta.leeds.ac.uk and All's
discussion of Uninstalling LILO...

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

There's an easy solution.  Boot DOS and type:

fdisk /mbr

at the prompt.  This will replace LILO with a standard DOS master boot
record, and you should be able to boot from the hdd after that. :-)

... How do you make Windows faster? Throw it harder!
