Error when trying to make widnows xp partition defult
When i tryed to make the windows partition defult in linux, it had some weird error saying that lilo.conf was bad. it told me to check config so i did, and this is what it came up with.

Should i just press yes when it says lilo.cofg is wrong?? cause my friend done that and it corrupted his mbr.
btw i'm using kde and mandrake 9.1.

The link doesn't work, can you post your lilo.conf in text form here? And what do you mean by default? Do you mean it being the OS it will boot when the timer runs out? If that's the case just take the part of it detailing windows and put it above everything else.
