As mentioned in the post, you do the former if you do *NOT* want to overwrite the main boot record on the hard drive which is the case if you already have something there (another boot manager, some other GRUB install). You do setup (hd0) if you want to always first boot into this. Actually, that’s the crux of this post - whether you need to do setup (hd0,4) or setup (hd0).

However, I did just see your problem, having just added my first SATA drive. I'm looking for a solution now.

Grub could not find the stage1 on my sata which boots ok. Ergo, Is the rule for a distribution other than fedora? Nice idea, but it did not work for me.
