use fdisk /mbr from a windows bootdisk
put in a windows boot CD or DOS floppy and fdisk /mbr
that - or reinstall windows.

The LILO way:
from LILO man page...
/sbin/lilo {-u|-U} - uninstall LILO boot loader
-u [device-name]
Uninstall lilo by copying the saved boot sector back. The '-s'
and '-C' switches may be used with this option. The device-name
is optional. A time-stamp is checked.
-U [device-name]
Idem, but do not check the time-stamp.
The Microsoft way:
boot the emergency boot floppy and type "fdisk /mbr"
Good Luck,
