LILO boot error 0x01 dual-boot

[mrcabnit]

I've got slackware on sda1 and windows xp on sdb1. When I boot it spits out "Error 0x01" which apparently means:

0x01: Illegal Command
This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it may indicate an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the BIOS. Definitely check to see if the disk is seen by the BIOS first (and that the BIOS detail is complete).

The second hdd is detected in the bios, but for some reason Its not detected as bootable device unless its hooked up as sda instead of sdb. I think this is the problem, but I have no idea how to fix it

I'm not sure if you guys'll need it but here's my lilo.conf

append=" vt.default_utf8=0"
boot = /dev/sda
bitmap = /boot/slack.bmp
bmp-colors = 255,0,255,0,255,0
bmp-table = 60,6,1,16
bmp-timer = 65,27,0,255

prompt
timeout = 1200
change-rules
  reset
vga = 790

# Linux
image = /boot/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/sda3
  label = Slackware
  read-only

# windows 
other = /dev/sdb1
  table = /dev/sdb
  map-drive=0x80
  to=0x81
  map-drive=0x81
  to=0x80
  label = windows

Any help is appreciated!

Hi and Welcome !

Which version of Slackware are you using? Is it possible for you to use GRUB instead?
