problem with HD

[Guy Schlosser]

Hi all, I haven't posted here in a while, but I'm back with a major 
problem.  I'm running Debbian 2.2, and was trying to uninstall it 
yesterday, so that I could create a dual boot system between my Windows XP 
box and a '98 box.  I booted into Linux as root, did a lilo -U to uninstall 
Lilo, rebooted the hard drive, and now I get a prompt at the bottom of my 
screen that says lil-.  Is there any way to get around this, so that I can 
boot back into XP, use Partition magic and delete my two Linux 
partitions?  Can I do this using another utility such as the partitioning 
tool which comes with Windows XP?  What I'm assuming, is that my MBR is 
damaged or corrupt.  Don't worry, I'm not leaving the Linux world, I just 
got a new laptop with an external Doubletalk LT that I plan to install 
Linux onto once I get this resolved.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be 
welcome.

Thanks in advance,


Guy
