[CentOS] Grub Error 22; no Windows

Hello,

I have a GridEngine setup with 5 subnodes and two RAIDS attached.  I backed
up the OS drive - 120GB - to an external hard drive - 500GB - using
ddrescue.  The OS drive is partitioned as:
sda1 has the OS and is about 7 GB
sda2 has /var and is about 4 GB
sda3 has swap and is about 1 GB

After backing up, there were 4KB of errors, but all at the end of the disk
around 118GB.  This used to be a partition back in the day, but I deleted it
accidentally.  I want to back up to this new larger disk b/c the original
120GB disk is discontinued.  I boot from a live cd - SystemRescue CD - and
run e2fsck -c -c -C 0 y on sda1 and sda2 on the backup drive, and it seems
to finish fine.  Then I replaced the OS drive with the backup drive, and it
goes to boot, then Grub Loading Stage 1.5; Error 22.

Here's the important stuff from fstab:

/dev/hda                /media/cdrom            auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

I boot up from the live cd, and then tell it to search for bootloaders on
the drives, and it finds one, and it goes through, and then throws errors
b/c it is mounting the OS /sda1 drive and then trying to run fsck on it.  I
tried setting the error-check values to 0 for /1 and /var, but it is still
trying to error check it.

My blkid says that sda1, sda2, and sda3 all have different UUIDs.  sdc1,
sdd1, and md0 all have the same UUID.  md0 is a RAID1 comprised of sdc1 and
sdd1.  sdc and sdd are identical drives.

This used to happen, and I would just restart a couple of times, and it
would sneak on past the error eventually, but to no avail this time.  Does
anyone have any ideas?  Thank you so much!

And thank you to the dozen people who offered advice on the best backup
option.  After reading all of the replies and the links, I think I will prob
go with the rsync-backup suggestion.

Mahalo,
Jeff
