Well. Nope. I'm sorry. I assumed you wanted to dual boot with some
other operating system. One starting with W :-)

First. The booteable/active flag is only meaningful for Windows. It
needs that flag in order to know which one is the partition holding
its boot loader (io.sys+msdos.sys, ntdetect.com, etc.) Doesn't make
any difference under Grub/Linux. The BIOS is stupid and it just looks
for an MBR on the first hd (you define which one is the first using
your BIOS boot priority menu)

>From your grub.conf, I assumed grub doesn't see your sda, and sdc
holds your Kubuntu install. If this is true, then just make this:

# 10
title Kubuntu-8-10
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.img
boot

Replace "kernel /vmlinuz" and "initrd /initrd.img" with the kernel and
initrd lines your Kubuntu install has. Maybe you'll need to update
root= too.
