I've got a couple of Live CD's the crazy thing is Grub is being reported as 
being on the correct partition /dev/hda the SuSE repair tool has never let me 
down before and I've always been impressed with it.

Its getting to the 'check boot loader' section, telling me there is an error 
("yep I knew that") presenting me with the Grub configuration, which looks OK 
to me, applying then saying its fixed when it re-boots.... No Cigar!

Maybe its not actually writing to the MBR? the files are there 
under /boot/Grub maybe is giving the impression is written but in fact its 
not?
