i think i remember that grub has to be written into the master boot record for correct installation. if the mbr still points to lilo, the system will boot lilo. you should be able to configure lilo to dual boot though.
dafly, correct, it is all in the MBR..
Pieter.. I am nervous to go back to assembly.. it has been over 30 years since I have messed with it and (HeX)..
Since I know my MBR is working, I just need a way to uninstall Lilo safely, then reinstall/update Grub...
Honestly, the Windows is not important at all.. I use it to play games (think last time I used it was 4+ months ago).. I can use Photoshop on my VB in Linux (BTW, someone was asking for my ver/distro.. Mint 16 (Petra), KDE)..
I am just trying to do this the safest way.. I could easily solve this by doing fresh install.. but I would have to rebuild again until the next LTS.. (Mint 17, which I am going to stick with until next LTS, at this point)....
