I would boot with a Lilo disk then select the image to boot
as mount root=/dev/fd0

Insert a target root floppy.

Barring that one could mount the cdrom.

Barring that you could mount the MSDOS portion of your disk
-t msdos

Barring that you could mount the root of your Linux disk and do a fdisk /dev/?d? for your Linux disk. I think that works. Afterwards just shutdown and boot a DOS floppy and FDISK/MBR. You don't have to do the latter if its not a bootable drive/partition.

Then using Linux fdisk, remove all the Linux partitions.

After that, boot with a DOS diskette and do a fdisk/MBR c:

refdisk with DOS fdisk.

worked for me once. But I drink heavily and use Slackware.

Red Hat at Night, sysadmin's delight, Slackware in the morning, postman's warning.
