making a bootable partition for windows after installing ubuntu

[Kussh]

Hi,

I have been unable to find any literature on installing lilo properly on
my 120 GB hard disk though the GRUB bootloader which came with hoary is 
automatically installed.

I first created some partitions for ubuntu on the hard disk and then 
after installing it, am thinking of having a dual boot from windows too. 
have been able to create some fat 32 partitions for windows/dos but grub 
documentation says that it has some problems with fat32/ntfs 
partitions--therefore tried to setup lilo as the dual boot loader. But 
it gives an error at the stage where the master boot record is to be 
installed.

How can i install windows on the windows partition and setup lilo also?

Any ideas?

The linux partitions are all on "extended" partition and i suppose 
dos/windows can only be loaded on a primary partition. I have used 
gparted for partitioning but the new dos partitions have not been 
mounted as gparted has no such options.

I have also tried booting from a dos rescue disk but the dos fdisk 
command does not recognise the entire hard drive--only a small portion 
of it. I have not been able to format any dos partition with it.

wiki.ubuntu forum does not have any documentation on why the install mbr 
fails or how it can be solved.

the info lilo and info liloconfig details also do not shed any light on 
the problem.
etc/lilo.conf is as follows

# Specifies the location of the map file. If MAP is

map=/boot/map

# Specifies the VGA text mode that should be selected when
# booting. The following values are recognized (case is ignored):
#   NORMAL  select normal 80x25 text mode.
#   EXTENDED  select 80x50 text mode. The word EXTENDED can be
