lilo/win2K dual boot probs


I have win2k installed, I installed RH 7.1, and now the prompt doesn't give me the option to boot into windows, how can I fix this. Here is my lilo.conf file.

prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/boot/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3
read-only
root=/dev/sda2
append="hdc=ide-scsi"

My linux install is on my scsi drive and windows is on my ide drive, this is all that is in my lilo.conf file. Plz help. TIA!!!

Add the following two lines at the end of your /etc/lilo.conf.
Code:
other=/dev/hda1
label=Windows
Then run /sbin/lilo -v at the command line.
