you mean you installed it onto the first partition boot sector and NOT the mbr yes? as root load up your /etc/lilo.conf in your favouritestestest editor and change
Code:

boot=/dev/hda1
to
Code:

boot=/dev/hda
and run lilo. should be all you need to do. make sure that you still have access to the other partitions for windows though.

Or make your linux partition bootable in cfdisk or fdisk
