    Hi Les, I just reboot to the SATA hard drive after doing two things. 
First I found bootable partitions on both drives. The PARTA had the Swap 
partition /dev/sda1 bootable :-)  
and the SATA had the partition with Linux /dev/sda3 bootable. I erased 
both with fdisk and then rebooted to the SATA using this in grub.conf:

root (hd1,2)
chainload

It booted up exactly like it did with the old grub stuff. So I will now 
update my grub paper I am still working on. I will upgrade what it takes 
to boot up another grub. This is without doubt the best way to boot 
several Linux or windows systems with grub.
