Re: Can't open windows with lilo

I don't use the table or loader option to boot in Windows. I don't really know what these options do. I have a single IDE HD and I only use:

other=/dev/hda1
label="WindowsXP"

Re: Can't open windows with lilo

loader = "chainloader +1"   <--- doesn't work
i've tried all combinations.

like without table. without optional. /dev/discs/disc1/part1 (/dev/hdc1)   

Still nothing

Re: Can't open windows with lilo

Are you sure it's /dev/hdc1 that windows is installed on? I know I had trouble booting into my win partition until I realized I was pointing at the wrong one.

Also... isn't /dev/hdc1 -> /dev/discs/disc2/part1 ?

Re: Can't open windows with lilo

What happens if you move lilo/grub loader to /dev/hda3 (or /dev/hda1, if this is a /boot partition) and try something like  that as a primary loader?
The only time I had this issue (with lilo) it was a bios issue...
