NTFS support is now present in GRUB 2.

I am glad it helped and thanks for posting your changes.
On my side, I am using grub (cvs, 4dos, net patch, ...)
to boot knoppix or other rescue boots via the network whith non pxe cards. Hopefully cardbus cards will be supported soon.
It is really fast since the server keeps most of the upload data in it's ram and noiseless since diskless.
But I really would like to see again an "unified" boot loader like "grub-0.95" with all these nice patches integrated...

Thanks ruymbeke, I've solved my problem. ;-)

I'm using MandrakeMove 10 from my WinLH's boot Menu item now.

Done!!!!!
I've got it!(Grub4All.exe)

Features:
1. Any Functions of Grub 0.94;
2. Boot from Floppy Disk Images(Any size) located at any file systems(NTFS included, ISO9660 excepted);

Here, I only assmble 2 things, fsys_ntfs.c + Grub4Dos(witch is a patch for Official Grub 0.94).

Grub4Dos is coming from China, you can get it from here:
http://newdos.yginfo.net/grubdos.htm

And here is the Porject Info:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub4dos/

[fsys_ntfs.c] this is important for NTFS supporting to Grub. ;-)

How to use the Grub4All.exe
Boot to the real-mode's DOS, and type Grub4All.exe, and then, you get the Grub-command-line. In general, you can use all of the functions of Grub now. But furthermore, you can boot a floppy disk image from your harddisk, just using:
Grub> root (hd0,0)
Grub> map /fdd.img (fd0) ; map /fdd to a FDD
Grub> map --hook ; Apply INT13 hook
Grub> chainload (fd0)+1
Grub> boot

here we go ... ... ;)
You can download this Grub4All here(before 07-15 '04):
http://www.cn-ebiz.com/grub4all/grub4all.zip
(Hi, NTLDR can load this it, using 'grldrstart' [512 byte], 'grldr' [118kb], see HOWTO for more information)

Source Code(not diff file) here(before 07-15 '04):
http://www.cn-ebiz.com/grub4all/grub4all_src.rar

Good Luck!

Not sure if that is what you are looking for, but have a look at the grub4dos patch made by tinybit:
http://newdos.yginfo.net/dosware/grub/grub020p.zip
From his Readme:
Version 0.2.0 also brings out a new thing, GRUB for NTLDR,
which could be used to boot into GRUB from the boot menu
of Windows NT/2000/XP. Copy BOOTGRUB and GRLDR to the root
directory of drive C: of Windows NT/2000/XP and append to
C:\BOOT.INI a line like this: C:\BOOTGRUB="Start GRUB"
