Well.......that didn't work. Maybe it didn't work because I use LILO and not Grub for my boot loader......

    Why didn't you say that you were using LILO? Post that file instead.

    Actually, that's a problem. LILO can't perform these operations. Would you care to install GRUB instead?

    Oh, do I have to re-install Reh Hat 8 all together. Or, can I just change it within Red Hat and reboot?

    Nah, you can just do it from your existing installation. Try using just "grub-install /dev/hda".

    Well, being fed up. I deleted the Linux partitions......But guess what! LILO still wants to load, damn thing installed on the MBR. So, now that I don't have Linux anymore. How do I get LILO off of the MBR, just re-install Windows?

    That's one way. You could also try running FDISK /MBR from a Windows boot disk.

    I think you can do a "Windows repair." This should install the Windows bootloader.
