You really mean windows partition (something like /dev/hda1 ?) or disk   
MBR ?

When lilo is installed, it back up all the changes it made so to   
uninstall cleanly lilo, boot LINUX and
as root type the command: "lilo -u"
It should uninstall.
If it does not and if it is on windows partition, i have never done that,   
but maybe from windows, typing "sys c:" would do the trick ? if you need   
it, try and tell us.

Re-installing LINUX is not necessary here.
To make linux partition active, use fdisk on the whole disk (for   
/dev/sda1, use "fdisk /dev/sda", choose option a (togle bootable flag,   
choose the partition number "1", choose "w" (save and exit))

To put lilo somewhere, you just have to change lilo configuration in the   
file /etc/lilo.conf
(man lilo.conf may help here)
