    Re: Some help with grub problem... ...

    This is different, right near the end, under
    Code:
    =================== sdb1: Location of files loaded by Grub: ===================
    original
    Code:
     
    5.6GB: boot/grub/core.img
    5.9GB: boot/grub/grub.cfg
    new
    Code:
     .1GB: boot/grub/core.img
    6.0GB: boot/grub/grub.cfg
    I can only imagine that something was corrupted in there the first time.

    edit: in case you are interested, here is mine:
