If your soundcard driver is an module, you can use modconf to change the
setting for IRQ.

Login as root, edit your /etc/lilo.conf and write this lines:

others=/dev/hda1   # or hda2, hda3 .......
	label=windows

then make a #lilo, to write a new lilo to MBR. Then you should be able to boot
both systems.
