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.
