Can you still boot into the installed Linux Lite, or do you have to use the live CD?
Are you seeing a grub menu that offers choice of LL and Windows, but the Windows choice doesn't work?
Did you try running sudo update-grub once up and running in installed LL?
The only thing that sounds like it's messed up is the boot loader, so as long as you don't start deleting partitions, nothing bad should happen by you just booting into LL. That won't affect the Windows partitions, assuming that they really are still on the drive and didn't get accidentally deleted during one of the install attempts.
Boot installed LL (or live CD if necessary), open a terminal and enter these commands:
(Last command ends with a lowercase letter "L".)
Copy entire output from terminal. Hit the "Insert Code" button on the forum reply interface (top right, 3rd button in), then paste the output within the code box that appears.
