The things:
Lilo must be on a primary, and bootable. Or at least shoudl be on a

NT can be on whatever, but if you're using the NT bootloader, it needs
to be on primary. Highly suggested to use NT with FAT and not NTFS if
it's a dual boot machine.
I -NEVER- had any problems with NT and NTFS dual booting, I use
System Commander Deluxe 4.0 or LILO as a boot loader.
I strongly recommend to use NT with NTFS, the reasons are numerous
and obvious.
