Hold on a second.
Looks like I traded in one problem for another one!
I've got the dual-boot going on the T30 finally...but the R52 can only boot Jaunty!
When I try and boot W7 it says NTLDR is missing!
Quickly did a search and found this thread. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708)
The new Boot info Script for my current problem machine (R52):

## altoptions=(recovery) single

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all
## specify if running in Xen domU or have grub detect automatically
## update-grub will ignore non-xen kernels when running in domU and vice versa
## e.g. indomU=detect
## indomU=true
## indomU=false
