If you can type ./sbin/lilo and get a screen full of information about how lilo works, then your lilo is installed. What's missing is its configuration file which goes in /etc and is called lilo.conf, which is why we refer to it as /etc/lilo.conf. Do you have this file? Why not send it along here so we can take a look at it for you? Also, what partition on your computer has Windows, and what partition has linux?
