Phil,
I'd have to look at your lilo.conf file to be sure, but maybe your windows
section is pointing to something that doesn't exist. I've attached mine for you to
take a look at. Mine defaults to linux, but to make it default to windows I just
change the "default=" line to "default=windows" which is the label for my windows
setion. I'm guessing you set your windows section up like a linux section and boot.b
does not exist on a windows boot partition.
