The MS loader and the DOS system files are on the C: drive. What's supposed
to happen when I boot C: is that DOS starts from C: and then loads Windows,
which is on D:. D: is not and never was bootable. It's not a problem of
being able to boot anything; If that was the case then DOS wouldn't start at
all. The problem is that when I boot C: through Grub, DOS can't see D: and
thus can't start Windows. If I boot C: through Lilo or by disabling my Linux
drive in my BIOS, then D: is visible and Windows starts like it should.
