Grub stage1 file error

[Ossama Khayaat]

Sorry, but I just hate the 'install from scratch', because I used to do
it a lot in Windoze and try to run away from it :)
In a way, you're right. It works just fine. I tried installing it on
another machine and had no problem at all. Seems like I'll just wait for
the next beta/final release, and try again on the laptop. You know, I
don't want to format/install too much on it.

Thanks,
Ossama
