I suppose that NT Boot code has saved somewhere the position where NTLDR 
is. I mean it does not search it.

If I were you I will check this project to fix your hd0,3 wxp boot:

http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/

(It is a tool for making something equivalent to fdisk /mbr or fixmbr or 
fixboot but you can specify the partition where to act.
