Well that's why. Windows should always go first on a disk, for several
reasons, one of them being that it doesn't care about other operating
systems already present, and will overwrite the MBR during the install.
One possibility is (with the linux second scenario)...
force lba32 by putting "lba32" in the lilo conf.
That gets rid of the cylinder limit (if the hardware can handle it)
Oh, and just to be safe, the best order is
windows
linux /boot
linux /
(other linux parts to taste, like /home /usr and /var)
linux swap
