I've always done it the other way (I have so many computers now that I don't do dual-boot systems anymore, but I have done dual boot systems using Win95 and NT4 ... Never bothered with win2k, because at that point, like I said, I had enough boxes that dual booting was just silly). I've had problems doing it your way, and my research dug up several web pages that indicate the best way is to use Microsoft's boot loader when using NT. Obviously, if it works for you, it ain't broke and you shouldn't fix it. If it's not working for you, use Microsoft's boot loader.
