why Can't I install the grub on ubuntu 6.06?

[zhihang wang]

I have solved my problem with the following command
I boot from the live cd, then
>sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt
>sudo grub-install /dev/hda2 --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt
Then I restart my pc from the flash-disk and create the menu.lst file in
/boot/grub directory
Note that the *MENU.LST* file name is wrong. Only the menu.lst file name
works.
Thank you all very much for your warmly help and discussion. I'm very glad
to discuss the
ubuntu problems with you.
