On your situation, your Win partition is not really lost. Its just hideing in the partition place. Check your /ec/lilo.conf are you able to see both OS's summarise on it ? Can you ? If you can then it should be a problem. Another way to settel this problem is rearrange the lilo structure or the way it boots back to normal. Type /sbin/lilo as soon as you type you might see something like this:
Added Linux
Added Windows
Added * Swap
If you able to see this, that means your lilo configuration have succesfully arranged the file system to get ready for dual boot.
Give a try.. post back if that doesnt help.
