A little more info is needed. Did you delete linux, and are currently
running dos? Or do you just want to get rid of the LILO prompt?

If you're running DOS, type

fdisk /mbr

         _         _     _            _
/_ <> |  |>    /- <> |  <\/> .\  /     *The higher you are, the farther
you fall.*

Boot with an MS-DOS boot disk, and do an "FDISK /MBR",
however, make sure you have fdisk.* on your floppy disk.

        It would have been easier to have just given him the answer..

        Try fdisk /MBR

Hi Derrick:

You've probably already gotten an answer to this, but just in case you
haven't it's FDISK /mbr.

Toodles!

Hi Derrick:

You've probably already gotten an answer to this but the command is FDISK
/mbr.

1. Master boot record with NT 4.0/RH5.0

To all,

I'm running a Pentium II system with 64 megs of RAM, and two physical
Western Digital IDE harddrives on my primary IDE channel and a regular
CD-ROM with a Re-writable CD-ROM on the second IDE channel.

I loaded the first physical harddrive with NT 4.0 and made it one big NTFS
partition.  I have loaded RH5.0 on the second harddrive with all
appropriate partitions including a shared partition but when it gets to the
part during the install about including an entry in the Master Boot Record
for launching other OS's, it says that there was an error installing the
entry in the MBR.

I guess my question is:  Can I have the first harddrive dedicated to NT and
the second dedicated to Linux?  If not, do I have to make some sort of
partition on the first harddrive for Linux?

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks,

Ben
