1276646 2012-05-22 05:11:00 OK, I did the grub install thing, and added a new entry via EasyBCD. Now when I choose that option, I get a black screen, the word GRUB in the top left corner, plus a flashing cursor. Progress of a sort, I guess. :)

Pcuser42, if I am reading the info correctly, the appropriate partition is actually the middle sized partition, of three unlabelled ones. On a formerly empty 250g drive, I now have 3 partitions, which windows shows as 12.01g, healthy,active,primary, 3.90g healthy, primary and 216.97g healthy,primary. I believe Linux is installed on the first one.

...oops. Was basing that on my partition layout, which has just the main Linux partition plus swap (and several other NTFS partitions).

1276649 2012-05-22 09:16:00 I'm dead ignorant about Linux. How do I "install grub to the partition"?
Your best way is doing it through Configure your computer/Boot/Set up Boot system.
