Help! LILO can't boot windows!
 
I posted this in the newbie forum too, but I need help soon! The first time I installed slackware, I didn't install LILO to the MBR so I just used a boot floppy. Then I hosed it somehow and reinstalled, this time installing LILO to the MBR because everyone said so. Now it can't boot Windows XP, which is a big problem because this is a family computer and if XP doesn't work it's a big problem. Here's my liloconfig file:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot="/dev/hda"
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout="1158"
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
vga="792"
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
# vga=773
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k
# vga=788
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k
# vga=787
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256

# End LILO global section
# Windows bootable partition config begins

other = /dev/hda1
label="Windows"
table = /dev/hda
# Windows bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins

image="/dev/hda2"

image="/dev/hda1"

image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda5
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
