I recently installed slack 9 on my laptop alongside xp. When I setup LILO during install, i might have forgetten to add the xp partition. So I went into KDE, and into the LILO options. I tried probing for XP, and it detected it and was placed in the boot options. When I restarted, XP still did not show up on LILO. Any fixes?

Here's how i configured my XP Pro/Slack on my single disk, using 2 partitions.

Go into the Lilo config install screen.
Use "Expert mode".
Start a "New Lilo Header"
Add your XP partiition (probably /dev/hda1) Note: make sure you actually type this in on the command line.
Add your Slack Partition (/dev/hda?????)

Select Install Lilo. This will write lilo to boot record.

Note that i added this lilo config to the MBR. Never tried other options like Superblock, Floppy.
