Win98 has to be on the first partition, but I don't think this is true of later versions - I don't have xp, so I can't be certain.
Assuming, then, that you have W2K or XP, simply install windows, which it will do into the partition you have saved for it, but yes it will overwrite your lilo. This isn't a tragedy, however, as you should then boot from your Mandrake cd1, at the splash screen you hit F1, I think, and then type 'rescue'. This should bring up a menu, on which one option is to restore the boot loader. This will bring lilo back with an option to boot into windows.
