IIRC to use ntldr, you need to save a copy of the Linux boot sector into a file
(which means you need a hard disk with it installed on) and configure ntldr to
use it. I don't know if ntldr writes that out to the hard drive and then boots
from the disk normally or if it does something else. Regardless, it sounded like
too much work for this boy.
Why do you want to use ntldr? I'm sure google would help ya.

I put one on my V10 and it had an anti drain back valve that was broken inside of it.
It ran the truck with no oil.
So then I try one on my 460, same thing.

I've never done this; I rarely make multiboot systems and, when I do, I've used
Lilo , GRUB and a commercial software product named System Commander.

Now that I think back, I think the way I got it to use ntldr last time was because I used the Wubi installer and it auto-configured all that.
I want to use it because it seems a little faster than GRUB. At first I noticed a bit of hesitation when GRUB started loading. But it seems to have gone away for the most part. I might just dig around and find out how to customize GRUB. Maybe add some color, reorder the OS selections list, stuff like that. I did it awhile back, so I know it can be done.
Grant, I've used Fram, Wix and Motorcraft....I get better oil pressure with Wix and Motorcraft, but pressure is lower with Fram. I was told that's because it filters better.
I do eventually want to get a K&N filter, but I may put together a custom airbox setup in place of the factory breather, if I can find the right parts.
Just an idea. :P

K&N makes great air filters, but the oil filters will kill your motor very fast.
Frams filters do not flow as much oil or filter as well.
Wix and FoMoCo are all I run for oil filters.
I have never found a brand of air filter that was bad, but the fram air hog is good and
the K&N is the best.
I put a K&N air filter in and I could tell the difference.
These are things I have learned through trial and error.
