> HI,
> If a boot loader like LILO or GRUB was also installed with RH 7.3, then u need to use a utility like partition magic and wipe out the MBR(MAster Boot Record). There is a fdisk facility which comes along with PM 7 and has an option like:

Don't know about all OS's, but I think the latest Windows variants (2000 
and XP) are smart enough to notice a strange (to them) MBR and install 
their own.  If not, an FDISK /MBR from DOS will do it.
