Don't bother :)

If you cannot follow the previous advice:
   1. add the following two lines to /etc/lilo.conf
      other=/dev/<windows boot partition aka C:>
          label=winblows

   2. add the following line to /etc/fstab
      /dev/<windows partition> /mnt/<mountpoint> vfat defaults 0 0
      repeat as necessary

PS. I hope I have not spoiled your fun :)
