Boot into DSL, install grub bootloader

Code Sample

sudo grub-install /dev/hda

at shell...that will pick up your windows partition

I hate lilo too because you cant make changes without re-writing the MBR...grub..just go into the boot dir and change the menu.lst and you are done (just dont delete the menu.lst) or you bork your entire system!)

I like LiLo when Linux is the only OS on my HDD, if I'm dual booting I prefer GRUB.
