Dual boot

[Cyber Source]

If, when you take out the other hard drive, you cannot boot into
windows, it must be like a jumper thing of BIOS detection issue, a hard
drive with windows and no boot loader should just boot windows

He wants to have it boot directly into Winblows without using lilo. How do I get rid of lilo and have it boot into windows? I took out the Linux hdd and tried to boot into indows but can only see the letters LI . Do I need to blow away the mbr? Do I do fdisk /mbr in Windows or Linux to delete the mbr?  Any suggestions?
