Booting Windows XP with two IDE drives

[wolfinsilver]

I am having trouble booting Windows XP with lilo. Every time I try to load Windows, lilo says it is loading it, but nothing ever happens. Windows is installed on the slave drive, with Slackware 10.1 on the master drive. I have tried the following configuration of lilo:

other=/dev/hdb1
label="Windows"
table=/dev/hdb

I also tried appending these lines to it:

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

Windows is installed on partition hdb1 on device /dev/hdb.

It should look like this:

other = /dev/hdb1
label = Windows
table = /dev/hdb
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80

All in the same section. Don't forget to rerun lilo after the changes.

Use grub D:

I may be off the point here but I never had to do that. Being a novice I put winxp on the master, I think its picky.

/dev/hda is my WINXP drive. (primary master)

Cfdisk /devhdb set up swap, root and left some free for my storage.

install windows first then SLack.
I put Lilo on the MBR of the Master, where are you putting lilo? (Root, MBR)
I suggest the SLack Essentials book if you can get it, helped me a lot.
