AMD Athlon CPU Grub2 and a Boot Partition

[kyonides]

Hi guys! I was trying to install LL on an empty partition on my third hdd and everything seemed to be fine after finishing the installations of LL and grub2 but later I realized I was fooled by these results. Grub2 could find any filesystem and just thrown me an error message.

error: out of disk
grub rescue >

Since the BIOS didn't seem to be reading the 1024 cyllinder properly I thought I should create a new boot partition where all those boot files should be conveniently stored. I restarted the LL install process and let the partitioner create that new partition and install LL on a different one.

The thing is IDK how I can make sure /boot does keep the files required to let Grub2 boot all the OS's I installed on my PC. I only found info about how to do this IF I have access to GParted but I don't so I need to ask you guys for a favor. Does anyone know how should I proceed from this point on?

You can use good old fdisk to partition a hard drive, but it is no picnic, compared to GParted. Have you no ability to make a Parted Magic Live CD or USB stick?
