The quickest way to do what you're asking is to edit LILO's configuration file, /etc/lilo.conf, which you have to do as root.

There's a sort of paragraph (the geek word is "stanza") for each system LILO thinks is bootable. Put the symbol # at the beginning of each line of those stanzas - this turns them into comments, and LILO will skip over them.

With LILO (but not the other big multibooter, GrUB) there's one more step - still as root you type the command # lilo to get the new configuration written to the drive's Master Boot Record.

The reason for just commenting out the three stanzas instead of completely deleting them is so you can go back when you feel like it and improve LILO's behavior. It would be nice to boot into Windows, wouldn't it? You can also make LILO and GrUB give some users some options and other users other options at boot time.

You can read manual pages for this stuff by typing (as a regular user or as root) $ man lilo and $ man lilo.conf. The file /etc/lilo.conf also has examples written into it -- look at the bottom of the file first. Adding other distros of Linux takes a little studying and figuring out, but making LILO boot into Windows correctly should be easy.

LILO doesn't understand Windows (or BSD types of Unix, or anything other than Linux) so there's nothing to confiugre in those stanzas of /etc/lilo.conf. Basically you tell LILO to just hand off control to whatever is in that partition without doing any checking.

Let us know if you have more questions, okay?
