Hi SolarisGuy, Typically you should install win first as it is easier to setup linux after that.
What you probably need to do now is install a boot manager like BootMagic from PoerQuest Partition Magic. In the bootmagic setup simply point it to boot to the linux paprtition. Then what you can do is boot into linux with the floppie and reset lilo so that it is on the linux partition and not the MBR.
or you can upgrade linux then dont select anypackages to upgrade and redo the lilo in there... thats the crappy way but will work if your not familiar with lilo.conf etc...
