I have a partition /dev/sdb1, where my old Windows XP resides. All the files are there intact and I can see them, mounting the disk from Linux. Linux is on /dev/sdb2. But when I choose Windows in LILO prompt, it doesn't load.

I have the following lilo.conf:

boot = /dev/sdb
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/sdb2
  label = Linux
  read-only  # Partitions should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Windows bootable partition config begins
  other = /dev/sdb1
  label = Windows
  table = /dev/sdb
# Windows bootable partition config ends

What can be wrong?
