grub

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble with grub and win 2000. When I try to boot my win 2k partition, the only thing I get is LIL-
Then I though that my mbr was a little bit messed up, so I try to clean it, by booting on a win98 floppy and doing fdsik /mbr. Then I try to boot win 2k without grub, I still have LIL-
Do you guys know about such a problem? Could anybody help me?
Thanks

are you sure it's grub? sure it's not LILO?

well before grub there was a lilo, but it's been removed...

No, that's the lilo boot prompt, you have to do the fdisk /mbr again

I already did once... How come that I have to do it twice in a row?

god knows, but apparently the lilo mbr is still there
