Some of you might think this post is ridiculous, and maybe it is, but I can't think of a more suiting way to show the people who have helped me my gratitude.
I installed PCLOS 2008-Gnome on the slave hard drive of my Computer with Mint. This time, I was smart about GRUB. I told it to install on the slave drive. Once that was done, I copied the kernel, initrd, and vmlinuz files over to my /boot partition and did what I had to do from there.
Long story short, I got it working quickly and I only knew how to do it because of everything I have learned from being on here. So for the people I mentioned in the title of this thread:
1) Thank you guys for teaching me.
2) Your hard work is paying off. I have learned how to handle a huge issue on my own now... so I don't have to bug you four.
I am finally done. Mint on one drive, PCLOS on another... I got everything I want!
