Sounds like GRUB is working at least.  I assume by "click" you mean
select the entry with the arrow key and hit enter, since there is no
mouse at this point.  What does it do then?  Anything?  What messages
do you get?  How did you install GRUB, to the MBR or to the linux boot
partition?

What do mean by you tried a boot disk?  First of all, look at the file
/etc/grub.conf  The "Other" entry should look something like:
title "Other"
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

This is assuming Windows is installed on the first partition of the
first boot disk (normally hda).  Send the contents of your
/etc/grub.conf and send the output of the command:
fdisk -l
to the list.
