After re-reading what you initially wrote, I do not recommend dual booting. I recommend installing Linux Lite as the primary host operating system and Windows as a guest operating system (AKA as a virtual machine) using either Virtual Box or VMware Player for Linux.
You ought to be able to use the Linux Lite Live CD to read and backup your Windows data. You may have to contact Microsoft to get an activation code for your Windows virtual machine installation.
But since you're requesting dual booting, look into this thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/69481/why...-with-them.
I haven't tried Matthew Moore's method. If you were able to boot to Windows before this, and you're not now, you might want to reach out to him or do a web search into the problem you're having with the BCD method.
