    boot up from LiveCD and execute this in terminal/konsole
    Code:
    grub-install /dev/hda
    if your harddisk is SATA, replace hda with sda.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    This error is returned if the specified file name cannot be found, but everything else (like the disk/partition info) is OK.

    Frequently, the error notes a missing kernel image file. Make sure that the file it is referring to exists on your boot partition.
