Hi Andrew,
Using NTLDR to boot Windows and Linux is not such a good idea. NTLDR is a program loaded from the hard drive boot sector that displays the Microsoft Windows NT startup menu and helps Windows NT load. It is much better to use a third party boot loader like LILO or GRUB to boot into either OS. FC3 allows you the option to install either of these.

I agree. I also use Grub to boot linux or winxp. Moreover, I have installed both systems on separate disks with each own MBR (just in case my Grub gets screwed up).
Regards, Sasa
