System with 2 hard-drives

I just bought a second HD for my home system, a Maxtor 15.3 Gb 7200 RPM
HD w/2Mb cache. I formatted this second HD and just to test it out
installed slink.
On the first HD, I am using the Windows NT boot loader to boot b/w
Win95, WinNT and Debian "woody". So I thought that I would be able to
use the following trick to boot this newly installed copy of slink from
the *second* HD:
dd if=/dev/hdd1 of=debian21.lnx bs=512 count=1; mcopy debian21.lnx a:
[boot using a windows boot disk]
[modify c:\boot.ini to add a new entry for the new OS]
copy a:\debian21.lnx c:\
[reboot, and select the new OS]
this technique has worked flawlessly for me when I was installing
different linux distros on the first HD. However, when I tried it this
time with the new install of slink on the second HD, selecting the new
entry I made for slink from the WinNT boot loader didn't work: all I got
was a bunch of 1s and 0s!!
I am guessing this has sth to do with WinNT's boot loader and the fact
that this new install of slink is on the second HD.
Can someone please tell me how to get my linux installations on the
second HD to boot using the WinNT boot loader ?
Thanks.
