At least, I have a "fat_stage1_5" file in my /boot/grub directory, I would expect that one to be FAT filesystem support for GRUB. It shouldn't be very hard to test, just backup /boot, reformat it as a VFAT filesystem and move the kernel/grub files back, then reinstall GRUB with a grub-install command. Boot it (keep a rescue disk handy) and see if it works. If it does, just check that you can mount that VFAT partition from Windows, edit it, and see if you can boot to Linux the next time. HTH, Filipe
