I have a feeling that the idea was to try and KEEP lilo. If that's the
case, it's just not gonna happen. Windows has a nasty inferiority
complex in that it destroys everything around it while installing.
Keep a working boot floppy on hand so that you can reboot into Linux and
reinstall LILO (after adding the ability to boot either operating
system).
Make sure and TEST that floppy before doing the deed, they never seem to
work when you REALLY need them to!
