Hello.
I'm using Grub1.99 (pc version, Archlinux) and there are some problems with 
it. I used testdisk some time ago, maybe it's a reason of this problem.
Grub0.x and Windows's loader are working OK.

$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: hostdisk//dev/sda appears to contain a udf 
filesystem which isn't known to reserve space for DOS-style boot. Installing 
GRUB there could result in FILESYSTEM DESTRUCTION if valuable data is 
overwritten by grub-setup (--skip-fs-probe disables this check, use at your 
own risk).

$ sudo grub-setup --skip-fs-probe /dev/sda
grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a disk with multiple partition 
labels or both partition label and filesystem. This is not supported yet..
grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in 
this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their 
use is discouraged..
grub-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
