You won't have an image in /boot for windows. You need to chainload the M$ boot loader. I have no idea how to actually make this work with lilo (I tried a while ago, but gave up after many failures). With grub it is quite trivial, however : ############# title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 boot ########## title Debian root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 read-only apm=on boot HTH, -D
