Hello:
I wish to move a 213MB IDE drive from my 80386 to my 80286. I completely
got rid of Linux [don't worry, I'm going to install it again :-) ] by
wiping out the partition information and reformatting the drive, complete
with MS-DOS system boot information. I then install DOS along with all
the software I want to put on the 80286.
Trouble is -- when I boot up the freshly reformatted drive to make sure
everything was kosher, I discovered, "Enter boot partition (1-4)? [1]"
(or words to that effect). It seems LILO is still alive and kicking.
Is there a way to get rid of LILO? I tried UNFORMAT /PARTN but of course
not having a partition backup, this won't work for me. :-)
Thanks...
