lilo wont boot windows?


I have slack installed on my primary harddrive which is hda and windows xp on my second HD which is hdb. Slack boots up prefectyl. When I choose Windows, Lilo just says, boot windows and thats it. Windows isnt for me and its annoying going to the bios switching off my primary HD just my relatives use windows.

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
prompt
timeout = 50
# 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
# vga=771
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k
# vga=785
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k
# vga=784
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256
# vga=769
# ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hdb1
label = windows
# map-drive = 0x80
# to = 0x81
# map-drive = 0x81
# to = 0x80
table = /dev/hdb
# DOS bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = Linux
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends


Any ideas? Lilo is on my MBR in case that helps out a bit

try uncommenting the following two lines.

# map-drive = 0x81
# to = 0x80

this will make windows think it's on the first hd
