This might help:

Also, if you know where grub is, you can tell it where to find it.
Example (all commands from within Ubuntu terminal):

====
sudo grub
root (hd1,4)
setup (hd0)
quit
====

Reboot.

So
"root (hd1,4)"
in this case tells grub that my root is on drive 1, partition 4 (hda5).

and
"setup (hd0)
tells it to put grub on drive 1.

Obviously you'll need to adjust to your requirements. This link gives a
nice explanation of setup:

Also; recommend making a supergrub CD:
