 curious...what does the unsafe thing mean?  I presume its just a label

 'man lilo.conf'
  
  unsafe Do  not  access  the boot sector at map creation time. This dis-
 ables some sanity checks, including a partition table check.  If
 the  boot  sector is on a fixed-format floppy disk device, using
 UNSAFE avoids the need to put a readable  disk  into  the  drive
 when  running  the map installer. `unsafe' and `table' are mutu-
 ally incompatible.

 After it connected , the xp system is in /dev/hdd2 .
 Now I think maybe I can modify my lilo.conf so I can start xp from the 
 lilo menu? What should I do?
 
 Thanks in advance. :)
 
 
 
Add these lines to lilo.conf:

other=/dev/hdd2
label=windows
table=/dev/hdd
unsafe
