Install GRUB to the right place...  

Well, that is what you need to do, and you can work out how to do this
from the GRUB info file (the man file is quite abbreviated).  If you
can't follow it, and/or want more specific help, supply more information
about how your drives are on your system.  Post us the output from the
following command, issued as the root user:  fdisk -l

(That's a letter l, not a number 1.)
