Problems that span several OSs are often hardware related. I'd look seriously at backing up all your data RIGHT NOW just in case your hard drive is damaged.
Next I'd look into the way the drive is partitioned. How did you install the second OS? How did you repartition to make space? Are you using UMSDOS or something? Which partitions are NTFS and which are FATxx? Where is lilo installed? How old is the computer? How big is the drive? Do you have SMART enabled in the BIOS ? Other questions will occur to me when I hit send....
