NTFS and LILO


Can anyone tell me what to do? I need to boot an NTFS partition with WinXP and i'm using LILO? It's all on one harddisk. The device name for the NTFS partition is hda1, the ext is hda3.

should be simple - try the lilo autoconfigure (liloconfig)(if you have it). if not:
is hda2 swap? are there any other partitions? where is your kernel image?

try this:

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 100
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
vga = normal
# WindowsXP bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
label = WindowsXP
table = /dev/hda
# WindowsXP bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda3
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
