Yes, I encouneterd something similar also. The reason I was unable to boot
NT was simple - somehow the bootable flag for /dev/sda1 partition was
erased. And the worse thing that after restoring it with linux fdisk,
I got another message: "invalid partition table". The fix was to make NT
(or DOS) to run it's own fdisk to resrtre the flag correctly.
fdisk /mbr does nothing, 'cause MBR is OK! try just starting fdisk
in dos and exit without chnaging anything.
