I think that this will help:

So, when the grub menu comes up:

hit "c"
That will bring you to a Grub prompt.

If you installed a /boot partition, do
Code:

find /grub/stage1

[NoOp comment: interestingly enough, that gives me an error 15 on my
dual boot system that works just fine]

If you did not do a /boot partition [most likely choice] do
Code:

find /boot/grub/stage1

[NoOp comment: this one works for me on a dualboot system & should work
for you as well]

(from budman)

One of these commands will give you an answer like
Code:

root (hd0.0)

[NoOp comment: write the result down!]

Now press Esc.
Select the first boot option and press "e"

Press "e" again on the root option
Change the hd(X,X) to whatever you got above. for me it was hd (0,0).
Press Enter.
Now press "b"

Ubuntu should load up.
