That will install grub on the master boot record of hdc and sda, and in
both cases grub will look to whatever drive it is running on for the
files to boot instead of going to a specific drive.


No, it won't... it'll look for the first drive in the system (BIOS drive 80h). This means that if the BIOS can see the bad drive, but it doesn't work, you're still screwed.

Depends how "bad" the drive is. Just to align the thread on this - If the boot sector is bad - the bios on newer boxes will skip to the next one. But if it is "good", and you boot into garbage - - could be Windows.. does it crash?
