table=/dev/hda

needs to be

table=/dev/hda2

That should make windows bootable. B)

??? hda2 is the extended one !! . . . but hda6 has no "*" . . . that is what it needs as far as I know !Gaucho the instructions are posted above ;)B) Bruno

A second shot:

# fdisk /dev/hda

Press the a keyPress the 1 key ( number ONE !! )Press the w keythen

# fdisk -l /dev/hda

AND after that remove that last line from /etc/lilo.conf again !!! ( table=/dev/hda )

# kwrite /etc/lilo.conf

Reboot and try again

# /sbin/lilo

Ooooh . . that is a pitty !!For the /swap I need to see:

# cat /etc/fstab

But you could also start re-installing Windows . . because I need a 15 minutes tea break :D . . . or Adam should take over . . . . Anyway a re-onstall of Windows is needed . . nothing more I can fix from here :DB) Bruno
