This is because XP has been installed with NTFS File System, and lilo,grub (the boot managers are not able to write on the NTFS Paritition) try doing this
I don;t think it matters whether XP is installed
with NTFS or anything...... lilo and grub they write in the MBR and they have nothing to do with NTFS...... or FAT filesystems... Correct me if i am wrong......
Quite true, it doesn't matter what filesystem is present, filesystem abstraction comes into play when the kernel has booted. Boot records or for that matter anything on HDD is plain old binary data.
