I think we need to step back here and let one or two people assist Steven in 
this. Some of us have not bothered to read enough of the posts to see that he 
isn't getting very far past the initial grub boot stage, and cannot do any 
editing as the filesystem is unable to be written to by *any* user in this 
stage.

This barrage is not helping any, and only adding to Steven's confusion.
