Ok, take 3! The system removed the URL's I entered on take 2. Sorry for so many postings. I had intended to post this as a follow-up to another thread "www.computing.net/unix/wwwboard/forum/558.html" about this subject which helped me to successfully remove LILO. Unfortunately, the software at this website would not allow me to post a reply to an old message. Thanks to the comments on this forum as well as some other helpful sites (listed below), I was able to successfully remove LILO from my NT boot sector. Before naively running fdisk /mbr, I suggest doing a bit of research into how Windows NT boots. I used mbrtool from DIY Data Recovery to: 1. check that LILO was indeed installed in my mbr (it's pretty obvious) -> mbrtool /x:d /d:0 2. make a backup of the mbr to a file -> mbrtool /x:b /d:0 /f:mbr_save 3. rewrite/refresh the mbr -> mbrtool /x:m /d:0 There were some strong warnings at Microsoft support about using fdisk /mbr (mbrtool does the same thing) on a WinNT disk. DIY DataRecovery also have strong warnings about using their mbrtool to rewrite the mbr on an NT disk with a LILO bootloader. However, I knew I could back out of any trouble with the backup copy I made (which I backed up to my c: drive just in case...). Here are the sites I found most helpful: 1. Windows NT Boot Process "msep01.eng.ohio-state.edu/lud/computer/mcse/boot.htm" 2. DIY DataRecovery "www.diydatarecovery.nl/~tkuurstra/index.htm" 3. Bootpart "www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm" I tried using this tool to fix my boot sector but it did not work. I presume it fixes a different part of the boot sector than the mbr. Hope this helps, William

Dear Sir, I am also under a similar problem as you. I have loaded linux madrake which has become the boot loader. After loading from the Linix boot selector, for 'dos' which is the ntpartion I get the 'blue screen death' of Nt. Please help.

Hope this helps, William nt options including fdisk, partioning from nt, partioning from nt, loading ntfirst ,loading nt first etc. When I partioned from linux there is a problrm of 'ntldr not found. Insert other disk'. I have formated my system around 30 times trying different options but still it's not done. I will remove linux altogether if need be. I want nt by any means. All my programs run on Nt. this is a SOS call. Please help. My life is messed up because of this.It's 15 days that I have been working on this but with no sucess. And this time I am passing througha critical time and I needmy computer by any means. Please reply. Thanks, Gurmeet Singh Arora
