To be clear, this was not the grub interactive prompt. This was all 
uppercase ("GRUB_") and appeared upon booting up. I think this used to flash 
by just prior to the bootloader menu when I was running XP/Suse 
successfully. ...which seemed oh so long ago..even though it was only last 
night ;)

I'm pretty sure grub can function with linux on the slave and XP on the 
primary drive since I had it running with Suse9.2 and Xp in the same exact 
partition/drive layout. I haven't changed any partition layouts, I just 
think it's maybe looking in the wrong place for the bootloader options. It 
seems like grub is running on bootup but just not able to figure out what 
it's supposed to do. I'm not sure how to modify where it looks for the 
config file.
