NTFS is not a Linux partition, although it is read/write-able in Linux. So's FAT and it's variants. Linux
partitions (actually partition types are something different - what you are implying here are file systems) are generally those that support hard/soft links, device nodes and the like. There are plenty of those, and widespread are ext2/3/4, reiserfs, xfs...
OP You can just simply install grub on the MBR, and put an entry in grub.cfg that points to the windows bootloader on the boot partition like so:
Code:
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot
You can even type the above commands directly at the grub prompt and make your system boot.
