Lilo boot hangs when trying to boot Win2K
I am using Slackware 9.1 and had to add a 2nd hard drive with Win 2000 on it for some of my University classes. So right now I have slackware setup on /dev/hda and the boot loader installed to the MBR. After I unplugged the Slack hard disk, I installed Win2k on the 2nd hard disk and I assume it put its own boot loader on the MBR of that 2nd drive. So here is the problem:
After getting both hard drives plugged back in and up and running I used the liloconfig GUI tool to add the Windows hard disk to the boot loader in hopes of making the dual boot work at startup. When I try to boot to Win2k it just says "Loading Windows" and hangs. It is not actually booting anything at all, as "Windows" is the label I gave to the boot loader. Does anyone know how I can make this work correctly? I will attach the tail end of my /etc/lilo.conf file at the bottom along with a recap of what my system looks like. Thanks in advance for any responses!!
/dev/hda - Slackware 9.1 with lilo installed on the MBR
/dev/hdb - Win2k with its own boot loader installed on this drives MBR
/etc/lilo.conf:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
delay = 50
default = Linux
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda3
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
other = /dev/hdb1
label = Windows
