i don't clearly understand your problem. what i seem to knew was ,
u first installed Debian and after it u trying to install windows.
total of min 3 partitions - 1 for root,1 for swap , other 7GB for the win.
u should not use the 7gb as the c:, my idea is that ,
u can partition the 7GB whole to one 2gb as c:(FAT32) and other 5 gb for
another FAT.
install win from scratch, it removes the lilo on mbr. reboot the system and
boot using linux CD.(i think its debian). goto shell prompt.
mount -t ext2 /dev/dha1 /mnt
#copy the win mbr
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hda1/mbr.dos count=1 bs=512
#write mbr with lilo
lilo -v
reboot and appears lilo
add image line in the lilo.conf
other=/dev/hda3
loader=/dev/hda1/mbr.dos
label=windows
root=/dev/hda3
the better option is grub
