I went there earlier,  but couldn't understand what the "add-ons" were, 
and why they had such a variety of names.  Upon downloading, their 
purpose became clearer,  but maybe not yet clear enough.

AFAIK, I'm up to date on Grub for Windows.  Grub starts, but it can't 
seem to communicate with my HD.  I can get to a grub command line.   
 From there, "find" can't find anything, and "geometry" reports an 
"unknown device string" or something like that.

I'll have to look into this later when the semseter is over ... final 
tomorrow, and lots of grading to look forward to.  For now:  no Quantian!

FWIW,  I have a Thinkpad T41.   I'm thinking that the hidden partition 
on the thinkpad might be confusing grub.
