    as I understood, they talk about the Windows ntldr, which is the OS losder itself; I talk about ntldr.mod of GRUB, which is used to load the ntldr of Windows from GRUB Commented Sep 28, 2012 at 10:55
  • The ntldr.mod is specific to i386-pc architecture of GRUB, since NTLDR relies on legacy BIOS to do its job. On an UEFI system, you have a version of GRUB with the x86_64-efi architecture, which can only chainload other UEFI bootloaders... which excludes NTLDR. Also, Windows XP won't boot from GPT partitions at all, not even the 64-bit version of XP. The more common 32-bit XP won't support GPT at all. Commented Jan 15, 2020 at 6:50
