To get a dual boot (windows and linux) you need to edit the /etc/lilo.conf file.
Try adding the following lines into the lilo.conf file.
other=/dev/hda1
label=Windows
Where /dev/hda1 is replace with the Windows partition.
With your second question. When wanting to start linux do you want it to start in a graphical mode or text mode?
Cheers
