Booting Xp with lilo unavalible[SOLVED]


Solved!

I've recently installed Mandrake Linux 10 on hda drive, along with Windows Xp on the same disk. I use lilo for booting. When I reboot and choose to boot the xp, I am given a message: image not found.
The drive is reachable, its mounted and all data is visable.
This is my lilo.conf

boot=/dev/hda
default="linux"
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent"
vga=788
read-only
image=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
label="windows"
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
other=/dev/fd0
label="floppy"
unsafe

What is wrong? Can anyone help me, linux is really nice but i would really like to visit my old os sometimes

SOLVED

Try commenting out the "image =" line. Welcome to LQ

Windows uses the 'other=' label and not 'image='
Below is a copy of my lilo.conf for example. The windows entries are at the bottom.

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
lba32 # Allow booting past 1024th cylinder with a recent BIOS
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
# Normal VGA console
vga = normal
# End LILO global section
# Windows bootable partition config begins
#other = /dev/hda2
#label = Windows
#table = /dev/hda
# Windows bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda6
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Windows 2000
other = /dev/hda2
table = /dev/hda
label = win-2k
# Windows XP
other = /dev/hda3
table = /dev/hda
label = win-XP

Lilo.conf looks like this now...
4 boot=/dev/hda
5 default="linux"
6 prompt
7 nowarn
8 timeout=100
9 message=/boot/message
10 menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
11 image=/boot/vmlinuz
12 label="linux"
13 root=/dev/hda5
14 initrd=/boot/initrd.img
15 append="devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent"
16 vga=788
17 read-only
18 other=/dev/hda1
19 label="windows"
20 table=/dev/hda
21 #read-only
22 other=/dev/fd0
23 label="floppy"
24 unsafe

... and it works
I had to outcomment the read-only in windows, couse it was giving a syntax error message (dont know way though)
Big thx for help
