[Tfug] Any way to disable LILO?

[Glenn Shannon]

That's actually somewhat of a conundrum. Sometimes XP does, sometimes it
doesn't overwrite LILO on the MBR. Fdisk /MBR from a 98 boot floppy and
then repair the MBR for XP (fixmbr in the repair console), then you can
reinstall lilo.

The XP repair should overwrite lilo.  I woudl recommend making a boot
disk
for your Linux install before trying to repair the windows MBR.
