Its been a long time since I used lilo, but here goes, add the following lines to the lilo.conf file:

other=/dev/hda4  <-------- replce with correct windows partition
  label=windows

Once that is done, run /sbin/lilo as root.

Hi, Im no Engineer but to edit the file as root you can type

vi /etc/lilo.conf

the file will then open up in. Go to the bottom of the file & press the ¨insert"key on your keyboard & add the other posters lines. Once you have added all press ¨Esc¨ on your KB then enter

!wq

which will save your added info. Then as root run the final command which again the poster has told you this. You could also do it another way (Linux for you..) open up MMC (control panel) then boot > setup how the system boots then click that & click next once. From here you can add the line as well...

If you're using Mandrake, the safest way to mess with Lilo is to go to "Configure Your Computer", then under the "Boot" tab, choose "Set up how the system boots". You'll have a nice GUI for modifying your lilo file without screwing anything up.
