No...haven't made it that far :)

I tried dd'ing the first 512 bytes of /dev/hdb1 and then following the
directions to copy it over to windows and add it to c:\boot.ini, but after
rebooting and selecting the linux option I created, all I get it a black
screen with a blinking white cursor.  If I could get this working, I could
give up on this whole effort :).

Btw, I can remove both drives, install the linux drive, and everything
works fine.

Don't know...I imagine if grub is having a problem lilo will as well, but
not sure.

Thanks,
John
