This box came with W2k so it does start with NT and boot.ini

This box uses the W2K boot loader if that makes
any difference.
Has anyone on the list seen this one before?

Thanks,

  <pre wrap=""> It sounds like perhaps your
MBR got messed up.  you can boot off a linux cd and assuming you want
grub int he mbr, run either grub-install /dev/hda (or whatever your
drive is) or install from the grub terminal.

rough steps:

boot linux cd.  
switch to a shell
mount your linux paritions
chroot to your installation
run grub and re-install from the grub terminal or run grub-install
(see grub manual for more info)</pre>
