You should be able to just run fdisk /mbr (from DOgS, you have a DOgS bootdisk, do you?) Also make sure you have a linux bootdisk. Pop in the DOgS bootdisk, run fdisk /mbr (this will clean the mbr). Pop in the linux bootdisk, rerun lilo with the correct configfile. -- People using html in email should be shot. Love does not make the world go around, just up and down a bit.
