Hi Thanks for the suggestion.

For the grub installation, I copied stage1, stage2 into my boot/grub from my
desktop linux directory. What are these files? Do I have to change them? And
also when flash boots, it goes to grub prompt instead of linux directly. How
to make it boot my linux directly?

Thanks.

Everett
