This is true. I've installed nt after linux and it doesn't touch the
MBR.
(Rather a new NT bootloader appears but with access to the old OS as
an option)
Even you blow your MBR, it's ok. Get a ext2 filesystem access driver
for windows
copy the kernel you're normally boot from to your windows partition.
download and install loadlin.exe
and run loadlin kernel_file_name root=/dev/yourlinuxpartition
