The others look fine. Windows stops lilo and grub from working. I am certain
this is by design. Back when I had both and always had to reinstall windows
because it crashed the simplest way with redhat was to reinstall it as an
upgrade. As there was nothing to upgrade it was quick and it recreated lilo and
it would work as a dual boot. I have read that simply running grub with no
options will do the same thing. I have not tried this.

And you are asking about a Windows problem in a Linux group why?
Windows replaces the Master boot record. There is nothing left of the Linux
MBR or any linux booting after you install Windows. Thus it is in a Windows
group you need to ask about this.

Secondly, including the exact error message you get is helpful

??? Were you trying to boot from the floppy when you ran into trouble?
