Does grub chainload ntldr or vice versa?  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)
