In trying to repair grub, I get an "Uncompression Error System Halted" notice

Question

I had Ubuntu 12 .04 then installed windows. As usual, it wiped out my Ubuntu 12.04 grub. So I tried using a live CD to repair grub. However, the CD never really load and after eternity it gives me an "Uncompression Error System Halted" notice.

Note: My 12.04 was an upgrade from 11.10

Solution
