         Your help Jorge is dated. It is for Grub1.


     For Grub2 it is quite different. And scary hard. But here goes 
because this is a simple case.

     Boot into your 10.04 that you want to use Grub2 from. Open a 
terminal and in it type:

         $ sudo update-grub

This will use your 10.04 Grub2 and you will have what you want.
