So i want to be able to choose between my harddrive with linux and my SATA drive with windows so I don't have to keep changing the BIOS settings when ever I want into Linux or Windows....How do I do this?

Try adding this:

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
read-only

other=/dev/sda1 (you sata might be not sda)
label=windows

Adding that to where? Just putting it in the console?

To lilo.conf. Read this, maybe helps: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lilo.htm Don't forget to run lilo (type lilo in the console) after updating and check if you will get any errors.

Thanks I'll try and set it up in the morning

Ok, it didnt work...

Fatal: open /dev/sda1: No such device or address

I tried it without the one and got the same message...under /dev/ there isnt an SATA drive...

What are the results of
Note that's a lowercase "L"

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders

/dev/hda5 974 1027 433723+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

So this is what I added to Lilo...

# Windows bootable partition config begins
image =
root = /dev/sta1
label = Windows
read-only #

When running "lilo" in Console it says nothing about windows or Added Windows * like it does for Linux...What do I put as image...and also, is it normal for Slack to not be able to go onto the HD with this error
mount: unknown filesystem type 'HPFS/NTFS'
Please check that the disk is entered correctly.
This is what I put in fstab
/dev/sda1 /dev/sda1 HPFS/NTFS defaults 1 1

It doesn't work, can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong...

I am having problems dual booting using the Online Slackware Book, I get everything installed like i should but when i get to the part of grabbing the first 512 bytes of the linux partition I cannot find /tmp/bootsect.inx. I have looked throughout every folder and file manualy and searched the forums. Found nothing to help even google. My eyes are buggin from my skull and am frustrated its time for me to take a break and wait for a reply

Plz Help,

There are several problems here.

Windows sections in lilo are supposed to look something like:

other = /dev/sda1
label = Windows
table = /dev/sda

Your fstab entry is wrong but LILO doesn't care about that- LILO doesn't use the fstab.

You only need an fstab entry in linux for partitions that you don't need for linux (like windows) if you want to mount them automatically. Do yourself a favor and remove this entry from fstab and fix one problem at a time.

I have no idea what you're talking about but nobody has to do anything with /tmp/bootsect.inx to dual boot.

Just go through the Slackware installation and let liloconfig set up your lilo.conf. If you have a live CD, we can figure out how to change your lilo.conf if necessary (if Slackware and or Windows don't boot).
