Hi,

This was fixed in GRUB 2, when Bean made a patch to support NTFS there.

here is another solution:

    using `fsys_ntfs.c` and grub4dos to make Grub 0.94 with
full NTFS accessing ability (this one has NTFS supported
just like the FAT, not hard code);

    And you can put a floppy disk image to your hard disk
partition, and boot your system with that image(no size
limitation);

0.7:
         - bugfixes for win32_filepos and current_pos
         - corrected debug info: use format %I64u (MSVCRT.DLL) instead of %llu (
glibc)
         - added option to write to a bootdisk image to a file

0.8:
         - added autodetect '-a' command line option to probe disks+partitions

this version adds FAT support, and fixes NTFS support,
which by mistake contained hardcoded partition start
and cluster size.

Actually, you can embed an ntfs_stage1_5 to track 0 sector 2, and create an universal stage1 boot the ntfs_stage1_5.

This version has grub-like parameter syntax for the device/partition, i.e. (hd0,0) instead of /dev/hda1

I posted my original submission a bit too early...
This version (ntfsboot2.tar.gz) includes command line options and support for setting the boot menu (configfile)

This tool modifies the GRUB stage1 and stage2 image files
located on an NTFS volume, to make them bootable by NTLDR.
