Hi again I tried to do chroot /dev/hda3 that is my root partition, but appear me "chroot: cannot change the directory to /dev/hda3 not a directory" what can I do, and what did you mean with "/whicheverslackison"? Thanks
if slack is on /dev/hda3 then do mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/slack or instead of /mnt/slack you can make any other directory and mount it there for you to chroot into somethign it must be mounted in some way or another

are you sure that is where windows is? on /dev/hda1? try making lilo without the windows part in also, the example i gave you was a modified bsd entry so maybe it wasn t exactly right ill post back if i find a windows entry for lilo that im sure works
hhhmmm i think you must have specified lilo to not be installed in the mbr try typing liloconfig into the console and following the instructions, make sure to have lilo install into the mbr
