Can you state the problem again? I missed your earlier posts.

Is your NT partition marked active? If you install LILO in your boot
sector instead of the MBR, then the MBR should contain the standard
code (done by FDISK /MBR), and either the Linux partition or the NT
partition should be active. If it's the NT partition, use BOOTPART
(or similar) to set up an entry in NT's boot manager for Linux. If it's
Linux, add an entry to /etc/lilo.conf for NT, something like

other=/dev/hda1
label=NT
