Because you are lucky:-)
It is not Lilo's fault. It is my BIOS fault. It hangs if it tries to see the
40GB HD, so I set it up not to try to check it.
This cannt be done with Windows as it relies on the BIOS to check HD and their
geometries. Linux does not trust the BIOS so it check the HD by its own and
it has success!
