GRUB error: 'i386pc normal.mod' not found [was: Help]

[Bob Jonkman]

Hi David: Looks like the GRUB installation failed.

You can boot from a 13.04 disk or USB stick, start a terminal, and
install GRUB manually. But if you're unfamiliar with the command line
might be easier to re-install 13.04 from scratch, which should recognize
your Windows partition.

Or, if this is on a portable computer, bring it to Ubuntu Hour Kitchener
on Friday, and we do some collaborative troubleshooting.

By the way, it's useful to the folks on the list if you describe the
problem in the subject line of the message. "Help" might mean that
Timmy's stuck in the well again, and nobody wants to deal with that.

--Bob.
