I have a computer that uses LILO to dual boot SuSE Linux and Windows 98, and I need to reinstall Windows, but lasst time I did that it wrote over the partition, and I had to reinstall Linux and LILO. Is there a way I can reinstall Windows without having to do all the rest again?

Ofcourse you can!
After installing windows, use your Linux boot floppy or boot cd-rom
to boot into Linux.
Then edit the file /etc/lilo.conf
Add the following line to lilo.conf at top:
boot=/dev/hda
then run the command
/sbin/lilo
the reboot.
Now u'll see OS switching screen of LILO
Enjoy!!!

why do you need to make political statements here?
I've never had trouble getting several OSs to work on the same machine, just use swappable harddisks instead of multiboot
