Yes, looks like it is indeed. But being the tenacious, (finnish -sisu) 
guys that we are, (actually I forgot to ask you on the last message, 
sorry  :) ), lets try one more search....

search -f /boot/grub/menu.lst

if this appears other than (hd0,1), there's hope. Otherwise, we have to 
reinstall the kubuntu.

If this appears, say on (hd0,5), please do this
ls (hd0,5)/boot/
cat (hd0,5)/etc/lsb-release

If there is none, let's throw in the towel, I mean lets grab another beer.

Take care, Bas.
