If you download MUD.EXE from Maxtor.com you will get a set of utilities which
will erase the boot sector and with it the LILO. Alternatively you have to do
a Low Level Format of the HD, and this is also possible on the utilities. The
first alternative is preferable, and it is possible that the Utes may only
function correctly with a Maxtor HD. Lets hear how you get on,
