After a failed and unwanted (at least on this PC) installation of Red Hat, Im left with the LILO prompt on every boot up. Is there a safe way to remove this, without wrecking the data on my C: drive?

two ways:
in dos: fdisk /mbr
in linux: lilo -u

Thanks for the reply,
I think Ill do it from Dos. Do I need to do it from a floppy or just from hd?
And this definately won't ruin the data on my drive???

It won't. LILO doesn't run on the same partition as C:\. You probably have it installed in the master boot record. After you remove it, you'll default to Windows.
