   When installed in the MBR of the boot drive, LILO can boot DOS or   
   Windows by basically duplicating what the BIOS would do on a system   
   that only has DOS or Windows installed, i.e. look for the partition's   
   boot record, load that into RAM and pass control of the computer to   
   whatever code was in that boot record.   
      
   The BIOS-installed — i.e. non-UEFI — versions of Windows still use the   
   old DOS mechanism for booting.  Look at the documentation for LILO on   
   how to include a stanza for booting a DOS partition.
