Hi,
It's look like you got your "table" parameter worng.
it shuold include only /dev/hda and not /dev/hda1
so your windows part on the lilo.conf have to look like the following:
other=/dev/hda1 #(or where ever your windows partiotion is. can be check
with fdisk -l /dev/hda)
lable=Windows
tables=/dev/hda
and don't forget to run "lilo" after you rewrite the "lilo.conf".
good luck
Tomer.
