I think a better way is to use the tiny program BOOTPART
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/gvollant/bootpart.htm

With this program you can use the NTLoader to boot Linux...
The trick is to create an image of the linux bootsector and add it to the
boot.ini file!
:-).
But for more information just read the readme and be refreshed!
