It depends on what type of Windows 7 you are installing. If you are installing an OEM version, it is recommended to use Windows Loader before installation, as it can help you activate your copy of Windows 7. On the other hand, if you are installing a retail version of Windows 7, then you can choose to use Windows Loader either before or after installation.

I'm not sure what you mean. But Windows installation disks have all required software to start and proceed with installation or any other activity.
If you told the installer to use the entire hard drive, Windows will be erased. If you told it to resize the partitions on the disk, Windows should still be bootable from the GRUB boot menu. If the installer was interrupted before GRUB could be installed, Windows is probably still intact, but lacks any boot loader to launch it. Reinstall Linux to fix the problem.
Following are the boot loader features of windows 7: a) Windows Boot Manager(Bootmgr.exe) b) Windows Operating System loader c) Windows Resume Loader
It's not. Running the lilo command either installs LILO or updates it, so you can't run it before installing LILO.
I had the exact same problem with my own computer. Apparently, Windows 7 doesn't work that well with Windows XP's boot loader (when dual booting). I solved the problem (well...sort of) by booting into my Windows 7 partition, Installing EasyBCD (http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1) and adding Windows XP to the boot loader again. The only thing is that when ever I boot into Xp (which is rare now) and then shut down, the Windows 7 boot loader is erased an I have to recover the computer with the Install DVD.The Windows Boot Loader begin erased may or may not happen to you, but it mayBest of luck with it,~Dex1010
NTLDR
I'm not sure what you mean by loader but to activate windows 7 Home Premium all you have to do is open the start menu, right click on Computer and click properties. Then click activate windows and you should be good to go.
Yes, I would suggest installing Linux last, makes it so you don't have to reinstall grub/grub2/lilo
It's possible, you have to correct boot.ini file and copy DOS loader and DOS system on your hard drive.

No, and using windows 7 is not legal
To change the contents of the boot loader menu in Windows XP, one must edit the boot.ini file.
I cannot tell you which SHOULD come first. In my case, I installed XP first, and Vista second - because following Vista with an XP installation destroys the boot loader. XP will not detect Vista or offer a dualboot option. Similarly, following this dual boot with a Linux installation will install a 'lilo' or 'grub'. Grub is becoming the most popular boot loader, and installing it last will ensure that you can boot all of the current operating systems. Grub is extremely user friendly, and can be modified simply by editing the text file.
