The system isn't clever enough to install a DOS/Windows menu for the
boot loader (LILO). Assuming you put lilo on the boot sector of the
boot disk, you'll have to manually configure that. See the LILO
howtos and stuff on www.linuxdoc.org.

What's that about? did you format some partitions that you shouldn't
have? OUch. Maybe some disk letters moved around in Windows -- you
can generally correct that manually with the disk properties in the
explorer.
