I tried this in my lilo.conf other=/dev/hdc1 label=XP And ran lilo. On reboot, I can boot into linux but not windows. It tries to boot but fails with a message saying error loading operating system. This is an improvement over using /dev/hdc, where the computer just hangs.
I tried using the table directive, but it doesn't work. If I use: table=/dev/hda in the main section I get an error when lilo runs and putting this into the "other" section gets a fatal error, no partition information found. So, any suggestion welcome. I suspect this may have to do with the fact that windows doesn't like being on the third (ID2) hard drive, especially since when I installed XP on this drive it was IDE0.
