The big question is, Did you need a boot partition? Does your PC have the 
limit where it cant boot the kernel (or ntldr) past the 1024 cylinder 
limit? If so, you probably cant put /boot in the root partiton. But lets 
see your partition table first. (Which are inside the 1024 limit?)

Note that Linux and NT can share a boot partition. Easiest if its FAT 
format. If one needs it, both probably need to use it.
