Every time I try to boot to windows using lilo it says "Bad System Disk" (basically). I have linux on one hard drive and windows on another, and when I have linux boot on its own as master it works just fine. But when I have my linux HD as master and try to boot to windows it gives me the message I just mentioned. Any ideas on why it does that and how to fix will be appreciated. If it is possible I would like to make the windows HD the master and put lilo in its MBR instead of the linux one... but I have never seen that option.

I've heard there are problems when trying to put lilo in the MBR while windows is the primary.
I just put lilo in the /boot partition of my linux file system and it boots into lilo, i choose what I want fine.

well, firstly you need to configure lilo properly. with linux as a master drive, and windows on a slave, your standard boot menu entry is:

other=/dev/hdb1
label=windows
table=/dev/hdb
map-drive=0x80
to=0x81
map-drive=0x81
to=0x80

this lies to windows and tells it it is the master drive when it isn't, and it all works perfectly. you don't seem to have considered that when the system is moved around things can easily not work. lilo can't just guess were windows is.
