Thank you Klaus. /dev/sda is hd0 and is the permanent hard disk. It
has the MBR on which I want to install
Grub. /dev/sdb is the removable hard disk.Its first partition is, as
you say, hd1,msdos1 on which grub2 is installed
under /boot/grub. After I boot into /dev/sdb1 with supergrub I run
grub-instsll. I am not running any grub or grub rescue
Commands. Grub-install says installation finished. NO errors reported,
the version of grub installed is 1..99 when my
system has grub 2.00-14. On booting, the order is cd, usb ( my
removable harddisk is on usb, and then permanent hard disk. Maybe, as
Goh says, supergrub is messing
up something, but I am mystified as to why even if there were an
error, it is not overwritten by the latest grub-install.

Is your removable hd still attached? IIRC grub counts discs from "0",
so your "hd1" would then refer to your second hd. Do you have grub
installed on the aptosid system? What's your BIOS boot preference?
A mix-up like this could explain why when you reinstalled grub to
version 2.xx you still get reported back v 1.99 by bootinfoscript.

Hi all,
Well I just fixed my boot loader problem in about 15 minutes The easy
way is to go to www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ and
download the .iso file of their boot loader repair disk. Burn a disk,
stuff it in your CD/DVD player, reboot your system and sit back and
watch the wheels turn. Punch the Repair button when presented. Remove
the disk and reboot. Your done. This is supposed to work for a range of
boot loaders. Great package.
