Thanks for the suggestions -- I ultimately got the IBM rescue CD working on an old Mac CD-R that I frankensteined into a USB HDD. I then was able to reset my mbr in about 2 seconds, so now life is good - if the usb stick is in the drive when I boot, it starts up DSL, when it's not, I'm in my old XP.
My original comment was for miamicanes -- just to say that it *is* definitely possibile to install grub on windows without messing with partitions, because I did it -- inadvertently! (I recommend copying your boot.ini first, just for safety's sake)
Oh, and that grub version came from the DSL site someplace. If you need to know where, I could try to reconstruct my process.
