You can install LILO on the MBR and select to boot Win or Slack.Â*Â*OrÂ*do
as I did.

Install Slack's LILO on /boot partition (or / if you didn't create
seperate partitions). My laptop Slack boot partition is hda2.
Then follow ->Â*Â*http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+NT-Loader-5.html

Always make a bootable disk.
