Grub stage1 file error

[Robert L Cochran]

Let's start from the very beginning.

When you wrote your CD using the ISO images, did you mediacheck the CDs 
before trying to install Fedora on your machine?

The installer offers you the chance to check your CDs. You can do this 
by booting CD #1. After a few prompts about your language preferences 
the media check will come up.

Why not try this?

I ended up having to create CDs 1-3 and I used mediacheck myself. Good 
thing I did -- 2 of the 3 CDs were bad. Probably the CD media itself was 
poor quality. I threw them out and made new ones.
