Deleting existing GRUB partition and moving it

[zeroverse]

Hi,

My GRUB situation is probably unique.

I have Windows XP install on hd0,0 (/dev/hda1)
I have Ubuntu Breezy installed on hd0,1 (/dev/hda2)
I have Kubuntu Breezy installed on hd0,3 (/dev/hda4)

Kubuntu is ok, but I prefer Ubuntu and want to erase the Kubuntu partition and reload GRUB for Ubuntu (default) and Windows XP. Because Kubuntu is the last OS I've installed, if I try to erase the Kubuntu partition, I will lose my grub loader.

Unfortunately, in trying to "fix" the problem, I completely erased the /boot/grub directory from the Ubuntu, so please assume that this must be fully restored.

I have LIVE CD's if I need them (and I have tried many "solutions" from these forums...but none of them seem specific to my particular dilemna).

To clarify: I have NO grub directory in the Ubuntu partition (hd0,1)...so this must be restored...and I want to be able to delete the kubuntu partition (hd0,3) without it affecting GRUB.

Thanks in advance for you help.

The solutions on that thread don't work for my situation. But thanks.

The problem is, fromt he grub prompt, when i type "root (hd0,1)" it tell me "Error 22: No such partition" but the partition does exist.
