After Windows reboots about 14 times during its install, just boot with the Linux boot disk and use 'drakboot' to add Windows to LILO and to restore LILO to the Master Boot Record. If you don't have a working boot disk, you can also use the CD (F1 then 'rescue') to recover LILO with '/sbin/lilo' and then add Windows to LILO after.
