Try fdisk /mbr from a DOS/Win9x boot floppy (it'll have to have fdisk 
on it, of course). This will wipe the master boot record (leaving the 
rest of the disk/partitions intact). Then, if you've already reinstalled 
Win98, you'll have to do a sys c from a Win98 boot disk. Then you can 
reconfigure lilo.conf and rerun lilo if you want to set up a dual boot.

Lilo and Win98 Q's

Has anyone found Lilo not to be written over while installing Win98 on
c: (hda1).
Why is Windows going back on my machine. The Kids Games that caused it
to crash.
I am still booting Storm / Debian potato and Windows will not reload. 
Even after formating C: (hda1).

Glad somthing is working, Even if Stormmix is having $$$'s problems.

on my dual boot machine, a windows reinstall always overwrites the mbr to
boot straight into windows.  I always keep boot floppy around so i can
boot and re-lilo the thing.  If you are having problems getting lilo to
load windows, the line i have in my lilo.conf to do this is

other=/dev/hda1
   label=win
   table=/dev/hda

and that works for me.  You may also want to change the Delay=20 line to
something more than 2 seconds, as its easy to miss that window if you
arent paying attention to yuor machine booting.
