Dual boot problem
I just installed the latest zenwalk (slackware) but I am having troubles with the dual booting of 2 seperate drives. I have one 74 gig sata raptor 10,000 rpm drive that I use for x64windows and then I have a 80 gig ide drive for zenwalk.
I have a boot sequence option in my bios if i choose the sata drive first it just boots up into windows with no lilo screen. If i change the boot sequence to boot the ide drive it boots up the lilo screen.
Ok from here i can boot into linux just fine from the lilo screen, but if i choose windows i get a black screen with a message in the top left corner that says 'Windows loading' and it just hangs there.
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda1
bitmap=/boot/splash.bmp
bmp-table=227p,233p,1,7
bmp-colors=0,2,,15,2,0
bmp-timer=76,30,15,0
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.

image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = Zenwalk
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/sda1
label = windowsx64
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
table = /dev/sda
# Windows bootable partition config ends
So i have sda as my windows drive for one hardrive
And then I have /dev/hda as linux partition
and then /dev/hda2 for swap.
Why does linux hang when trying to boot into windows.

Did Linux found the 2 drives when installing? Are they saved in fstab? Are you sure that it is /dev/sda1
