If you really want to go back to the dark side for good, you can simply remove the Linux partitions with DiskDrake, and then remove LILO from the rescue boot. To get to a graphical DiskDrake, just boot the first CD as usual, then just go through the installer till you get to the partitioning part, erase the Linux partitions and then size back up your NTFS partition (if desired), then reboot. To remove LILO, simply boot the first cd, then hit F1 at the first screen you get, then type in rescue, and you'll see an option for restoring the Windows Boot Loader.
