Mount your windoze partition under Linux:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt
where sda2 is the second partition from the first scsi drive. hdb1 is the
first partition from the second ide disk, etc.

If you want multiple boot, you have to edit /etc/lilo.conf first. Walk
through it and compare the options. This is assumed that windoze is on
/dev/hda1 and linux is on /dev/hda2. You need at least these:
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda2
prompt
timeout=100
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=doz
table=/dev/hda
Now run 'lilo' and you have the ability to choose during boot. Note that
you will need some extra's if your windoze disk is not the first harddrive
seen by the bios.
