Is there some reason you don't want to use Grub or LILO? If you really
don't want to do it the easy way, see various links produced by this

I think I'd start with the O'Reilly one.

lilo will not work on one of my machines. Grub won't work on the other. I
can't even get into linux to copy a bootsector to c:\ for XP to read.

That's unusual. I've never seen LILO or GRUB fail to work when they
were installed properly. If you installed your Linux distro last
(which you should) and then directed GRUB or LILO (whichever is used
by your distro) to the MBR of the master drive (hd0) it should work.
If you accidentally installed either LILO or GRUB to the root of your
Linux partition then you would require the use of a boot manager to
chain load each OS. (more complex)
Re-install your Linux distro or use its recovery procedure to place
either LILO or GRUB to the MBR of hd0.
