Multiboot - NTLDR not found.

[ssegrubfc]

Newbie....
Ok. Here we go. Two hard drives: 120-gb and 20gb.
120g is split- Win 98 and Win 2k (2-Fat32 and 2-NTFS partitions)
20g has Mandrake 9.0 installed.
Can access Linux via floppy.
I am attempting to access the Linux installation by using NTLDR. I found several writeups on this and have by command line and by using bootpart, extracted the info concerning the boot sector on hdb1 and created the "proper" entry in boot.ini. However, upon selecting that entry from the ntldr screen, the load process starts then dumps out with a NTLDR not found error. I at first thought I had typo'd the command dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 with a reference to hda1, but I ran again with the same issue. Any ideas?

Ok..Ok.. i am but a grasshopper. But I have passed my first small test. I may now be called sseGRUBfc...

When I asked the more rubust and stable system to handle the boot process (via grub), it all happened so fast and painlessly that I almost missed it.....

Dual booters - ditch the ntloader and let the real OS manage the process.:D

Sorry as this is the first time I noticed your question or I would have tried to help. I only have sooo much time in the morning before leaving for work and I can only get through a couple of forums.

Glad to see you got it worked out yourself.... Good job.
