i'm having trouble adding GRUB to the NTLDR (i'v considered adding windows to GRUB but i don't really want to do that). I have windows on one harddrive and a couple linux distros on another harddrive. I have tried copying the MBR from the second harddrive and have added it to boot.ini but when I Select it i just just get a black screen with "GURB _" on it and wont do anything else. Anyone have a solution for fixing this?

Is that enough help for getting GRUB working?

On the main drive normally you can have either grub or the windows mbr, but not both. If you want to have the default boot loader from windoze, you need to edit the hidden file boot.ini. There are plenty of docs on the web on how to allow both os's to coincide, Personally I prefer grub. That is the way I did it on the multiboot machines where I used to work.
