Never had a problem with installing Linux first and other OSes later. And why does lilo need a "backup" of anything? you tell lilo what to do and it does it. Lilo is'nt some all knowing thinggie that needs to remember things.
have you tried with a fresh hdd where u install linux (very) first and then put windows?
i guess, there is a file called boot.b or something like that ( i hate to say "somthing like that" but my box is broken to check ) which has the backup of the windows boot sector. correct me here by checking the contents.
