the above comments doesnt make sense... i will assume:
	/dev/hda1 == windows == c:
	/dev/hdb1 == linux

to make it dual boot .. see the lilo.conf file below ..

for performance, you want to use hda and hdc ...
	- one disk per ide cable 

run lilo after you have edited the file per your liking 
and kernel
