The key is to make sure the disk you are booting lilo from is less than
4Gb - or at least that is what is working for me.   I have also used 
System Commander, but have gone back to lilo for a couple of reasons:
    1)  System Commander is expensive.  Why pay for something if
        linux does it for free.
    2)  Lilo can work in the background or from a remote machine, making
        it easier to use for sysadmin work.

Also, with system commander you still have to use NTLDR and lilo, making
a total of 3 boot managers to do double-booting.   With lilo, you only 
have to use lilo and NTLDR.


Cheers,
