Well, I think I might have done it the hard way. *grins* Romain
Lerallut responded and said to do this to my /etc/lilo.conf:

<...>
other=/dev/hdb1
        label=windows
        map-drive=0x80
                to=0x81
        map-drive=0x81
                to=0x80
<...>

I just did that, and it worked immediately. Thanks for your help,
though.
