Broken Grub

Assistance please.
I have the following:
Dual boot with Grub Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.10 (64 bit)
AMD 64 processor
two cd roms
one older SCSI Maxtor 60 gig hard drive mounted as hda formatted win ntfs
two 80 gig SATA drive one formatted ntfs (hdb) and the other native Linux
(forget the file name but Linux native) (hdc)
I happily had Ubunto (upgraded) installed and runing fine on the hdc drive
but as is usual needed to re-install Windows XP.
I did so and lost Grub.
Maybe incorrectly but I booted up the Ubuntu 8.10 on the CD ROM and
eventually installed a clean copy of 8.10 onto a new partition on hdc.
But now I've completely lost my orginal perfectly fine (upgraded) install of
Ubuntu 8.10 with all my docs and add-ons etc!
When I boot into the new 8.10 install I can even see the hdc drive.
How do I get Grub to see my old install (it doesn't list it as an option on
boot).
How do I get to mount the drive hdc that I can't even see.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
David
