@Christiano #2 @jp #7 @Guigous #10 You may well encountered bug 441941.
In nutshell, GRUB 2 needs more space after MBR than Grub Legacy. Some Windows installations, netbooks in particular, have some kind of factory installed Recovery Solution. Its purpose is to recover/repair Windows using backups from a hidden partition. So, the culprit is this additional Windows software. In order to provide its recovery functions it writes some crap behind MBR without doing any checking for possible collisions, and in our case, ruining GRUB 2 image file. Uninstalling these recovery tools from Windows should be sufficient. -- Grub loading. The symbol ' ' not found. Aborted.
