Hey,
I have dual booted my system with Slack 9.1 and Windows 2000 Pro several times with no problems at all. Recently, I moved around my partitions and first reinstalled Windows, then Slack (now 10.0). Since then, my system hangs when I choose to boot Windows. Here my lilo.conf file:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
prompt
timeout = 300
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
vga = 773
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790

label = Windows
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
table = /dev/hdb
# Windows bootable partition config ends
and here is my fstab:
/dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda5 /mnt/Files ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/Windows ntfs ro 1 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,unhide,noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
Along with Windows not starting, lilo will not start if I reboot my computer. If I do that, my motherboard complains of it's inability to load the operating system, but this problem is not as significant as the one previously explained.
If possible, I don't mind switching to grub or giving Windows the ability to boot up on its own and start Slack with an install disk.
Thanks for looking and please respond if you can point me in the right direction
