Whoo Hoooo!! Who's your daddy!!!!
I put the LT HD back into the LT and used the OEM Win XP disk and it let me get to the recovery console. I first tried 'fixboot', reboot and nothing. Next, I tried 'fixboot', then 'fixmbr'. I figured that the DELL MBR was not happy and really had nothing to lose. It worked! Windows overwrote the DELL MBR and Windows is now asking those all too familiar "lets get started" questions!.
I think I am going to try and make an image of this setup, so that if things go south in the future, I'll have a non-standard Dell image ready to go and working.
