Hi,

It seems as though your installations have changed the partition tsble
slightly, and GrUB can't find your drives.
Try a 'sudo grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/dev/sdaX' where
X is the partition number for the linux OS that you want to use for
GrUB.  Run this command from the shell of that OS.  If you want to use
Ubuntu's GrUB, then boot from a live cd and run this command.

So, if you want mandriva's GrUB, boot into mandriva and run the
command with X=3.  Hope you get the hang with this example. :)
Let the list know in case you have problems.

Caution: play with grub carefully, as it's extremely powerful.  it can
mess up disks very easily if not handled properly.
