Thank you, but I already got that information from the HTML manual.

Since it doesn't say what file or partition can't be found, there is 
no way of fixing the problem.

I started with the rescue CD and entered the grub console, then 
proceeded to check the devices and partitions. After I was verifying 
that I had setup the correct devices, I entered the "root" command 
and used the "find" command to verify that I could find "stage1" 
"menu.lst" and a kernel. I did not get any errors.

After about 16 hours of researching all the related issues and 
trying every solution I could find, I gave up.
