lilo not working with 2 hds

since i installed slackware 10 on a serial ata disk i cannot boot windoz!
i got no errors when i update lilo.conf. When i try to boot windoz lilo
stops with a black screen with "booting windoz" (or something else...)

this is my system:

maxtor pata 40gb

one primary partition: ntfs - /dev/hda1 - windoz 2000

western digital sata 160gb:

three primary partition: fat32 + swap + reiserFs - /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2
/dev/sda3

this is my lilo.conf

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
boot = /dev/sda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.

label = slackware
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

other = /dev/hda1
label = windoz
table = /dev/hda

what should i try to solve the problem?

Is sda your primary drive? You might try putting
boot=/dev/hda in the conf

and re-run lilo and then see what happens.
