The one thing about windows is that it wants to be the first OS on the drive.
So I always make a win partition first.
This is what a lilo.conf file will look like with two windows boot options.
Windows is on the first partition on both drives:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
default="linux-i686-up-4GB"
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz-i686-up-4GB
label="linux-i686-up-4GB"
root=/dev/hda12
initrd=/boot/initrd-i686-up-4GB.img
append="devfs=mount mem=1024M acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda3 splash=silent"
read-only
other=/dev/hdb1
label="Win on hdb"
table=/dev/hdb
map-drive=0x80
to=0x81
map-drive=0x81
to=0x80
other=/dev/hda1
label="Win on hda"
table=/dev/hda
