When you installed NT it thought it was installing on disk 0 (NTs disk
naming convention starts with 0, the second is 1, etc).
When you have your linux drive "plugged up"...the NT disk is looking on your
linux drive for the NTLDR.
You'll have to edit the boot.ini in the C:\ to indicate disk 1 instead of
disk 0.
This is all from memory...YMMV
