the first thing you need to do is fix your mbr if your system does not boot at all get a boot disk i know that with a dos boot disk you can run
fdisk /mbr
with nt i am not so familiar but you can try getting an nt boot disk trying the same command
if that does not work and nobody else has any better ideas you will have to solve it the old fashion way and reinstall winnt (can you say cavemen)
after you have fix the system boot i attached a zip file called bootpa20 if you prefer to look for it online search for bootpart
it is very self explanatory it will let you boot winnt and linux on the same machine
