Re: where can i get partition magic and....
When you typed '/sbin/lilo', it showed both "Linux*" and "WinXP" yes?
When you were booting, you selected 'WinXP', then what happened? If it then started loading Linux regardless, then you should try the following:
Change 'other=/dev/hda3' to read 'other=/dev/hda2', and then re-run '/sbin/lilo'. Reboot, select 'WinXP'.

Re: where can i get partition magic and....
You are using Lilo as your boot loader.
When you modify /etc/lilo.conf, it doesn't do anything apart from modify a file.
You need to issue the command 'lilo' to write the changes to the hard-disk drive in order for them to take effect.
If /sbin/lilo doesn't exist in Linux (very odd for a lilo driven machine), then I would hope that it is somewhere else within your environment path. Issuing the command "lilo" (stripping the quotes obviously) should show you at least something, even if it is an error.
Do this. Tell us what output happens.
From your description thus far, it appears as if you've never successfully executed this command, otherwise 'WinXP' would be showing up as one of the boot loader's options.
