I'm guessing you want the choice to boot between Linux & Windows? Well,
you just need to setup lilo a little differently.
First, you need to know which partition your Windows C: drive is. If
you're not sure, run `fdisk -l /dev/hda` (assuming Windows is on hda) and
look for a FAT partition. Once you know the Windows drive (we'll say it's
/dev/hda1) you need to edit lilo.conf (in any editor you like).
There will be a section that looks like:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-19mdk
label=linux
root=/dev/hda5
read-only
You need to add a section either just below these lines or just above
them. Whichever one is first will be loaded by default.
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
table=/dev/hda
Above is an example section for Windows. Adding this to lilo.conf (and
running `/sbin/lilo` after saving it) will let you boot Windows from
/dev/hda1 by typing "win" at the LILO prompt.
