I'm not sure what the error message you're getting is, but the error I see is
you are identifying an image as a paritition, which it can't be. 

image=xxxxxxx is going to refer to a linux kernel, like the one you show in the
first set.  obviously, /dev/hda1 is not a linux kernel.

It's been a while since I did a windows partition, but you may need to do
other=/dev/hda1
instead. Going from my poor memory and not looking at the lilo.conf manpage, the
table entry seems OK to me.
