At last! Hope that it will give feedback for new exciting features for 
Super Grub Disk.

You have to create:
c:\boot
c:\boot\grub
folders

You have to find in your knoppix cd the grub files: stage1, stage2 
stage1_5* which can be found on /lib/grub or /usr/lib/grub
to c:\boot\grub

Then you have to reinstall grub on the MBR. I recommend you to use
Super Grub Disk's ( http://adrian15.raulete.net/grub/ ) option:
Fix Boot of Linux (GRUB) inside Linux menu.

Although you can follow some manuals that tells you how to fix grub from 
a knoppix cd. (root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) )

> How can I install the GRUB program to "hda1"
As long as it is a FAT32 you cannot install grub to hda1 (boot sector of 
first partition) but to the MBR. If you force grub to install it on 
hda1... you will probably loose all the files on FAT32 partition.
