Multiboot NT/Boot sector signature AA55 not found

After installing LINUX on my machine, I canno't access anymore my NT partition. Worse, I canno't reinstall it: I still get the message (I get it when the NT installation procedure asks for removing the CD-ROM and reboots): "OS Loader V4.00 Boot sector signature AA55 not found (2C2F found). WinNT could not start because of a computer disk hardware confirmation problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the NT (TM) documentation and your hardware reference manual for additional information". My 95 and Linux systemes work fine.
I looks like the NTLDR tries to reach the NT boot sector somewhere where NT has been installed. Would you have an idea on how to be able to reinstall NT without crashing other systems?
