Dual Boot

[Janina Sajka]

If you can type ./sbin/lilo and get a screen full of information about how 
lilo works, then your lilo is installed. What's missing is its 
configuration file which goes in /etc and is called lilo.conf, which is 
why we refer to it as /etc/lilo.conf. Do you have this file? Why not send 
it along here so we can take a look at it for you?

Also, what partition on your computer has Windows, and what partition has 
linux?
