menu.lst needs modification
While in the 1.xx Puppy versions, the Grub settings in this method works without modifications, but in your case, you will have to modify the partition number in the menu.lst file and point to the actual location of the kernel. There are many Grub tutorials in this forum - try this.
Note that the Puppy files in your case are in another partition (not in the same NTFS partition).
