LILO won't start windows



Hello,

About two weeks ago I sent a question requesting help dealing with LILO for a friend. I didn't quite get an answer for my problem, probably because i didn't send the "lilo.conf" file (mainly because i didn't have it on my computer).
Anyway, now I sent both the file and the original message containing the question.
About the file, I tried adding the line
"table = /dev/sda"
in its end, but it didn't help also.

P.S.
Happy new year for every1

Hi!
I'm posting this message for a friend.
I'll start with the symptom:
when he boots the computer and lilo starts he has options for both
windows and linux, but he can only start linux. when he types 'windows'
it
just returns to the lilo.
It is a Suse 6.4 system, and the hardware goes like this:
The windows OS sits on the first partition of a SCSI hard drive
(/dev/sda1)
The linux OS sits on the the new UDMA66 drive of his (/dev/hdg#), it's
"hdg" because the drive is connected to a special card and sits on its
primary slave.
Now if any1 can help how to solve this problem of can't getting into
windows, i'd very appreciate it.
