dear friends,

please read this mail avoid the one with the attachment, as it is not readable.

I tried as Philip Charles advised to download the grub image Copyleft site, as 
previously there was no errors, but it did not boot. also root is located at 
(hd0,9) & NOT (hd1,9).

after that machine HANGS and ctrl-alt-del DOES NOT WORK, pressing 
restart...........

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WERE NO ERRORS ON BOOTING, ONLY THAT IT HANGS AFTER 
EXECUTING all grub boot instructions...

thanking you,
