Not me! Nearly every machine I have has multiple OS's installed, so I fool around with various GRUB setups all the time. Coolest one for our student machines is to have GRUB installed in its own one cylinder partition (and chainload the OS's). Trivial to reinstall it into the MBR when the students inevitably muck up the MBR.

Glad to hear you found it fast! Oops, I still didn't do the backups (and there are thunderstorms about)!
