The "proper" thing to have done is to "uninstall" lilo with "lilo -u". Lilo
keeps a copy of the original boot sector around just in case just such a
thing comes up.
Or from a DOS or W32 boot (floppy?) do "fdisk /mbr".

Even *better*, of course, would be a nice fresh Linux install (RH8?) with no
Windows around at all. :-p
