I have two questions, not directly related, but you may be able to help...
1) How do you get GRUB to start the ntldr? I'm using LILO, but hoping it
can do it in a similar manner.
2) How do you stop XP from overwriting the MBR every time you start it?
(Please don't tell me to go join a Windoze group. I only use it once
every two or three months -- and that's only because I don't have WineX)
