Hi!

I have two harddrives; hda & hdb! My Slackware installation is on hda and two ntfs-partitions incl my Windows installation (obviously) on hdb1. The lilo-conf seems right but maybe something got screwed up here? Please have a look cause I can't get it right.

Windows installation - hdb1

boot = /dev/hda

table = /dev/hdb
# Windows bootable partition config ends

root = /dev/hda2
label = Linux
read-only
image = /boot/vmlinuz.old
root = /dev/hda2
label = slack.old
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

Have I missed something here?

What's the problem?

Try:

# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hdb1
label = Windows
# table = /dev/hdb
boot-as = 0x80
# Windows bootable partition config ends

Also, you should be more specific about the error you're having, i'm guessing it doesn't boot..

Oh I am so sorry not telling what the problem was. My Windows partition would not work after chosing Windows in Lilo but after adding boot-as = 0x80 I't worked perfect. Thanks for you answers.
