I have a very serious problem. When I choose Windows in LILO I get a blank screen with a blinking _, and it just sits there and doesn't boot. My filesystems are intact, but I don't have the NTLDR so I don't know if it can boot Windows at all. Please help!
Oh this is slackware 10.1 by the way, and the LILO version is:
lilo -v

Oops, sorry for spamming like crazy. Now that I fixed it (I knew that hda1 was not my boot partition, but setting it to hda2 didnt seem to work but I did probe in the KDE and then it found the thing correctly but had two named NT so I got confused but then I renamed one to NTXP and I eventually got it to boot.) Please close this
