The transfer case is in neutral, you need to select 2WD or 4 wheel high to drive the vehicle.

Start the engine, put transmission in neutral  
Turn knob to AWD, then you should be able to the transmission in to drive or reverse

The grinding indicates, to me, the transfer case is attempting to change modes. Could be electrical, could be mechanical.
