Site map error '404 (Not found)' what should i do?

i have uploaded the wordpress sitemap generator, activated the plugin from the 'options' tab of my blog and google webmaster tool figured there is an error on the robot.txt file! here is the error message:

404 (Not found)

The server can't find the requested page. For instance, the server often returns this code if the request is for a page that doesn't exist on the server.

If you don't have a robots.txt file on your site and see this status on the robots.txt page of the Diagnostic tab in Google Webmaster Tools, this is the correct status. However, if you do have a robots.txt file and you see this status, then your robots.txt file may be named incorrectly or in the wrong location. (It should be at the top-level of the domain and named robots.txt.)

If you see this status for URLs that Googlebot tried to crawl (on the HTTP errors page of the Diagnostic tab), then Googlebot likely followed an invalid link from another page (either an old link or a mistyped one).

what should I do now? Deactivate the wordpress sitemap plugin? or manually replace the robot.txt file? in that case where do i place it? thanks in advance for the help
