Cannot load Windows after liloconfig

mmarkvillanueva · 10-20-2005, 07:18 PM

I have a dual-boot system, having windows 98 on /dev/hda1 and slackware 10 on /dev/hdb1, it was working fine before but when i reinstall liloconf, it can't load windows. It just displays "Loading Windows" after selecting windows on the lilo menu and nothing happens... Loading linux is working fine though

btw here's lilo.conf

Code:

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
prompt
timeout = 300

I solved this kind of problem adding a line in lilo.conf:

other = /dev/hda1
label = XP
table = /dev/hda
boot-as=0x80

tnx! i've fixed it by adding "boot-as=0x80" in lilo.conf
