A copy of your /etc/lilo.conf file would be useful. Also, I am not sure what
you mean when you say "copied the bootsector to my /dev/sda3". Did you have
LILO install itself to your Linux partition, and use dd to copy it to a file
that you copied to your NT partition?
Have you read:
http://metalab.unc.edu/Linux/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html
The error you are getting makes me suspect that you are using your old
bootsect.lnx file, but I am not an expert in using NT's boot loader.
