- You can always 'return'.
- You can specify whatever OS you want to be the default in lilo.
- Formatting your Linux partition to remove Linux doesn't neccesarily remove lilo.
- You can use lilo to boot into windows without Linux installed.
- 'fdisk /mbr' removes lilo.
- I like you Houghy - I'd hate to ban you for sounding too much like a Microsoft press release
