You'll need to run 'lilo' as root (no options necessary) to get it to re-write itself to the MBR and overwrite Grub. Just out of curiosity, why are you switching FROM grub TO lilo? Most people (myself included) do just the opposite. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
