Greetings: In other words it looks like you want XP to boot,
but then how would you run Slack; with a floppy??
Anyway could you not re-edit /etc/lilo.conf putting the hda1
notations ahead of the Linux notations; running lilo to rewrite the MBR?
How about booting with an XP rescue floppy or CD and running
the old standby; fdisk /mbr?? Live dangerously, eh?
HTH.
