I had the same problem with LILO when I installed Linux on my machine. The only way I could recover the MBR on my NT disk IIRC was to create a boot floppy using my old Win3.1 laptop and use this to recreate the MBR on the NT machine. After this experience I would recommend creating a boot flo

How is your drive partitioned? The first step is to make at least two partitions for Linux (one for swap, others for file system). From there it's pretty simple, as (I believe) the default installed kernel won't recognize the NT file system. I have a system here at work set up that way. If you
