Normally a rusty rotor would not make a grinding noise. A grinding noise from the brakes usually indicated that the pads or shoes are worn down.

Is there any possible way to drive and brake so poorly that you would wear your brakes to metal on metal in 4200miles?
Sure, it can be done by somebody who rides the brake. It can also happen if you didn't turn the rotors and just pad slapped it instead of doing a proper brake job. It could also happen if your rotors have gotten rusty from sitting. I left my Mustang sit for a year and a half. It had good brakes before but the rotors rusted so badly that the pads only lasted about 2000 miles before I was metal to metal.
