Grub Error 17

[marvin mckinley]

I may be wrong but when I installed Ubuntu with the live cd one of the last things I observed on the nautilus window was that grub was removed.

I've just opened a terminal, and typed cd /boot/grub and it appeared
that this dir doesn't exist.

I reinstalled grub using "sudo apt-get install grub", but it said I
already have the latest version of grub, so I entered synaptic and
marked grub for reinstallation, did the whole thing and I'm still
receiving the same Error 17. =/
I had the same problem on my laptop when I repartitioned the hard disk
there, but this time I was doing that on windows, with Partition
Magic, and the linux distro I was using, was Fedora. Back there, I
just removed Fedora and installed Ubuntu over it. This time I *really*
don't want to reinstall everything from the beginning.
Any other idea?
