hope to help my Guys :-s cuz i dont have any one to fix it for me

Ah, the joys of Microsoft.

Looks like /dev/sda1 is bootable -- you need to change that: use cfdisk or whatever you choose and turn off the boot flag on /dev/sda1 and turn on the boot flag on /dev/sda3 (your Slackware partition). For example,
will show you something like this when you've got it.
Hope this helps some.

Lol @ microsoft ur lilo.conf looks ok just changer the bootable flag in fdisk to /dev/sda3 then if you still can't get windows you may need a new bootmgr file. If you can get tpo a windows command prmpt you can make a new one, but the easiest way would be to boot slack, mount win7 (I'm pretty sure slack auto mounts it when it detects it at installation) throw a win7/vista dvd or iso into ur comp, copy the bootmgr file off the root of the dvd/iso to the root of the win7 dir, unmount and reboot.

Hi,

GNU/Linux Slackware doesn't need or use the boot flag. The OP seems to lack a bootloader period.

If you want to attempt to use the current install and the 'lilo' boot loader is just the problem. Then the easiest way would be to use the install CD1/DVD to boot the system as if you were going to install.

After you get to the login then from the cli (command line);

When you edit the 'lilo.conf' file to include any additional information or stanza for windows, another Linux or whatever then you will need to re-run the 'lilo' command as illustrated above. If you follow the above and your original install was OK then you should now be able to re-boot your system.
