I am no expert at GRUB but - - - 
It appears that GRUB did not properly install.  
You can reload GRUB by hitting 'c' at the menu.
Please verify everything here.

*Caution:* Installing GRUB's stage1 in this manner will erase the
normal boot-sector used by an OS.


According to 'info grub'
1) Enter the root partition S.A.
grub> root (hd0,0)

2) locate stage 1
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

3) for mbr 
grub> setup (hd0)
