tnx for your reply.

Do you mean that if I install on /dev/sda the error stating that this error:
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no

disappears???

And if I issue the command grub-install /dev/sda everything is fine??
and shall I have to remove the grub installation??
I apologize but I am a newbie with grub :-)
