         This could be the old 2 hard drive BIOS problem. The grub2 you 
loaded from the liveCD found two hard drives but they changed when you 
booted from the 10.04 on the hard drive. This is easy to fix.

     While running your 10.04 in a terminal write this:

sudo grub-install /dev/sda

I assume /dev/sda since Windows likes the first partition. Now reboot 
and you should see your 9.10 listed.
