Thanks. Here's the full output of fdisk and dd. (The outfiles of dd are
attached.) I dont think that this is going to help, though. 8-(

By the way, I dont still beleive that "embed" was the problem. Now i beleive
it simply was "install" and "setup".
Until yesterday, (hd[number],[number]) was the only way to name a disk in Grub
that i knew about. I didnt knew that (hd[number]) was valid too.
Setup or Install does not complain about the first syntax, and not even "help
install" or "help setup" has any information about this. But setup (hd0,0) or
"install STAGE1 (hd0,0) STAGE2" may destroy the partition, though these
commands shouldnt normally write any data to any partition.
In my opinion its not secure that the so called automatic command setup, or
install, wrties data to a the wrong place on the disk without a warning.
That is important to improve in GRUB 2.
Thanks,
