Its no problem. If you were able to boot your ubuntu with SGD, then
fixing it is just as easy. here's what you'd need to do:
        
      * Boot up your SGD disk, and from the first menu pick "Choose
        language & No Help" (you can choose help if you like, but the
        'no help' version will be w/o many text info bits that are
        counter-productive to these instructions, since i'm telling you
        what must be done)
      * Pick your language from the next menu.
      * Select the "GNU/Linux" menu option
      * Select the "Fix boot of GNU/Linux (GRUB)" menu option
      * Select the partition that your Ubuntu resides on (it should say
        something descriptive under the "OS" column)
      * Let SGD do it's thing. If it says 'It Worked!' or some such,
        then it should have worked. re-boot, and pull out the SGD disk,
        and your dual boot should be working like normal.

Hope that helps
