I had some trouble doing option 6. Grub kept printing "Grub" over and over and over and over. Unfortunately, I can't afford any more time on this, so for now, I'll keep the PATA drive in the computer and run Grub off of it. At least I can boot into both operating systems now, and if worse comes to worse, I'll find a use for the 80GB PATA drive other than to hold a boot sector. :-) I'll have more time to spend on this in a few weeks. I'm just happy things work at this point!
