[GLLUG] Dual Booting Issues..

[Jeffrey Utter]

For the past week I've been trying to get my computer to dual boot Win XP
and Debian.  I have had no success.  Here is my setup..

2 harddrives.. a WDC 30GB, a Maxtor 40GB

I have tried multiple times and ways of installation order and on what
drives...

My current state is I have XP installed and it works (when only that drive
is pluged in), Linux is installed and works, can mount the windows
partions also,  Lilo will not boot to windows...

<the following is a recreation of actual events>

Boot:
Linux  3  XP
Boot: XP
Error 0x01
<end recreation>

3 is an aliase for XP.. After this point It prompts again for Linux 3 or
XP,  Linux boots fine from here.. 

Can anyone tell me what I'm going wrong?  My lilo.conf for the XP is
below,

other=/dev/hdd1
        lable=XP
        table = /dev/hdd
        alias=3

I know that hdd1 is the windows partion because I can mount it and poke
around... BTW it's Fat32 not NTFS.  

So any ideas?

Thanks
