Ok so now you have managed to get me worried. I have a WBEL machine with 
software raid on hda and hdc. Here are some details - sorry for the 
weird characters :\ ...

So I guess my mbr on hdc has nothing 'grub' on it? What should I do to 
fix this situation? What is that 'GeomHard DiskRead Error' doing in 
there on my hda?

any ideas?
