Then what you wrote earlier was wrong : GRUB is not installed in 
/dev/sda1, and this partition is useless. As I wrote earlier, a BIOS 
boot partition is used by GRUB to store its core image only when 
installing its boot image in the MBR of the disk. This partition 
replaces the unallocated "embedded area" located between the MBR and the 
first partition on MSDOS disks.
