Slackware 9.1 and WinXP

[John Seth]

edit /etc/lilo.conf

Something like the following may need to be added, use "man lilo.conf" for
more info, check online, or perhaps someone here.  My system at home is
booted into XP so I can't access it's lilo.conf file to tell you for sure
what should be used.

        windows = /dev/hda1
                  label = dos
                  table = /dev/hda

Once your done editing, type "lilo".  It will go thru the config file,
adding the linux and windows boot info to the loader.  Next time you
reboot, it should be set.

Word of caution, keep a bootdisk handy in case it doesn't like what you've
added...
