Try installing Linux after you install windows. Linux detects that there is windows and makes a relevant entry into its loader so that you get the option of booting into windows.
boot into linux using rescue mode & execute a command # lilo You will get ( or U should ) a message like Added dos ( or windows ) in case if you have changed the name Added linux *
Order of installation is not important as long as you know what is what. That said, people recommend and prefer to install Linux after MS-Windows. And yes, does executing "lilo" give the above message even without running it without the verbose -v option?
