Compare the sizes/versions of the ntldr & ntdetect.com files. I suspect that you need to make a copy of the ntldr on the C: drive and keep it safe, then replace it with the new ntldr from the Longhorn installation, given the /USENEWLOADER parameter. Just a hunch really, Don't alter the boot.ini file as yet.
