I have read all the replies you received to your question. However, as 
you correctly point out when the next time you have an ugrade to the 
kernel or whatever you will strike hassles. So let's get this sorted out 
now instead of later. How about you provide us with:

1. a list of your partitions: do a 'sudo fdisk -l > partitons.txt' and 
post the details here (or on picpaste and give us the link);

2. tell us on which sda partition you have 10.4 installed and on which 
sdb you have 12.04;

3. was your 10.4 installed with grub (legacy) and was 12.04 installed 
now with grub2 (which I believe is the default grub now).
