    Leonard,

    I got it to work this time (using Windows boot manager). I was pretty close
    before, just a bit unsure how it all works. Thanks for taking the time to
    explain it so many times. I think I am past the confusion of the device
    naming.

    I have not been able to make the grub boot floppy work, but maybe that is
    just not that important.

    Windows XP recovery console (fixmbr) got rid of grub from my primary HD.
    The main reason I wanted to get rid of it as boot manager is that I can't
    remove my second HD (the one with linux and grub.conf) and still boot to
    Windows (at least that is the problem I had before). Now I can boot with or
    without the Linux drive in the system (of course, I can't boot to Linux
    without the Linux drive).

    Thanks again,
    Peter
