19:33 Boot Linux from Windows Boot Loader (

Linux: few month ago, I had trouble taking an image from my windows partition (using ghost). In fact, taking the image did work, but after restoring the partition, Windows didn't boot anymore. I got the recommendation to not use grub/lilo as master boot record boot loader, but stay with Windows 2000/XP boot loader.
Here how it works:
Install the linux boot loader on the linux partition instead into the MBR
Save the boot loader: dd if=/dev/[linuxDisk] of=linuxboot.img bs=512 count=1
Copy the linux boot loader image to C:\linuxboot.img
Modify boot.ini: add the following line: c:\linuxboot.img="Linux"
