Hi,
Whar you need to do is start the nt install again ... The fist thing that
happens is the nt boot loader gets into place. You can just abort the
install after the inital files are copied across and manually tweak
'boot.ini' to load nt off the correct partition and delete the temp files.
If you're interested in getting rid of LM :[ then contine the installation
tiil you get to the partition screen. Setup your nt partition and delete
the linux ones.
Ashley.

read up on it. there is a great artical at linuxnewbie.com about triple
booting linux/nt4/win98. but on to your problem. my understanding is that
the NT bootloader has to be "the man". thus, you must install linux first,
then NT.
