I do not know how NT handles driveletter mapping but probably it is
sameway as OS/2 WSeB does it. Before GRUB installation I had OS/2 boot
manager to boot OS/2, linux and windows. But after GRUB installation I
didn't see WSeB in OS/2 boot manager anymore. So can't boot OS/2 now
anymore. I'll think at begining of driver there is stored LVM (in
OS/2) information which maps different drives to different places.
And on GRUB installation this information probably gets destroyed.
In general this isn't GRUBs fault but OS itself since data wasn't in
secure place. Maybe GRUB could be installed in this case to partition not
to MBR... and set that partition active...
