As below - try this modification:
image=/dev/hdd
label="windows"
root=/dev/hdd1
* Save the file
* Rerun lilo
See if that does the trick...BUT...
Bear in mind, though, that Windows does NOT like to be installed nor
booted from any other partition than the first partition on the primary
drive - good ol' Microsoft, ay?
What I've always done to make SURE that Windows and linux can live
happily together is to create my partitions first, install Windows
first, then in the remaining space install linux - that way, Microsoft
can have the damn first partition on the primary drive and thence be a
happy slugpuppy without further issue.
