Chain Load Grub
I will be working with grub version 1, an 8 Gig USB stick partitioned in to four equal partitions.
You will need to run on each partition that you will be installing an OS on the following command:
(Change the path and device to the one's on your machine)
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk-N /dev/sddN
Use the next command if the grub directory already exists in the /boot directory:
sudo grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/media/disk-N /dev/sddN
Now you will need to create /boot/grub/menu.lst in the first bootable partition.
I am only using the first two partitions, the fist one has System Restore on it and the second has Xen live disk on it.

Make sure when you formatted the first partition you turned the bootable flag on. The Xen partition already had a boot/grub directory with a menu.lst file in it, so I didn't need to create one.
That's it.
