I have to win98 partitions. THey need to be hidden from each other. I can't get lilo to hide them though.

I can't get the partitions to activate and deactivate. I've looked for samples on how to hid and unhide partitions. i have the rewrite_tables on. Here's my lilo.conf. I get no errors when running lilo. I don't know what else I can do.
