follow this post to boot in zenwalk
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32379
after log in as root
run liloconfig again (do not use this time expert, do automatically)
If does not work pick-up the install cd of xp, install windows boot loader and then run again liloconfig.
If you have just xp and zenwalk you don't need to run lilo in expert mode.
I have only zenwalk but I remember a couple of times this problem.
The installer delete the partition table.
I mean some times I had to install again zen, so I did not run lilo thinking that I already have and this was a surprise.
Check also whit gparted or cfdisk the flag of the first partition. Should be boot.
