I suspect if you are waiting a solution from this forum, you will need
to provide a tiny bit more information about you did before a solution
can be found:  type of HD drives currently installed in your machine and
your current geometry (only Ubuntu; or you dual boot with other OSes?,
etc; was the new drive a slave of the old one, or they were connected on
2 different IDE cables (if they are IDE drives);  that sort of info to
help us help you.

I would guess grub is trying to boot from your new drive (empty?) and
not from your old drive where Ubuntu and the /boot directory is located.
