Dual boot

[Cyber Source]

if your getting the LI then the bootloader was put on the hard drive
that has windows on it. Boot the system with a win98 emergency boot disk
and at the prompt type a:\ fdisk /mbr , that will clear the master boot
record of the drive and should then just boot into 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?
