"pre-configured boot to linux from NT bootloader"
easily boot to linux from NT boot menu
Linux and Windows Dual Boot Easily from NT Bootloader
simple a downloaded file and simple edit (in windows)
I should of made a .bat file to do the windows parts,
then the directions would of been:
place a Linux Install CD in the drive and double click this file while online,
reboot and select either "No Bootloader" or "anywhere but the MBR" during a advanced Linux Install when asked.
there are more complete instructions on this and some examples
of what I sorted through to arive at this solution included in the
attachment below and on my webpage linked here.

Step 1: go here and download a preconfigured linux boot file
Step 2: Copy file to C:\
Step 3: edit the boot .ini add c:\bootsect.lnx="anything at all"
Step 4: install your choice of Linux Operating System
Step 5: do a simple fdisk /mbr (only if you screw up)
Step 6: reboot and select OS from NT boot menu
Those linux guys have a way of over confusing us poor windows users!
a actual line from directions I found
I call this "a hard way that may not work"
"Add the line C:\linux.b = "LILO (Linux)"
and reboot. Everything should work. If not, don't blame me though."
