GRUB won't load after failed Ubuntu upgrade

[Quazze]

ok sorry, my bad. I can get in my BIOS, I used the wrong key (and since it doens't say on the screen which button to use, I thought that still had to come)

And I can indeed get to my original Ubuntu installation. It's no problem though (now I have back-ups of my most important files) to reinstall Ubuntu. If I install Ubuntu 10.10, will it then automatically reinstall GRUB (and thus GRUB 2) or will I still have to that?

If you still have pieces of Grub legacy and do an upgrade it may still ask if you want to keep the old Grub. My advice would be to just make a backup copy of /boot/grub/menu.lst and let it overwrite Grub with Grub2. If it doesn't ask, it probably means that it didn't find any old Grub legacy files and will just install the latest version of Grub (probably 1.98 in your case).

ok, thank you both very much. Everything seems to be ok now (although it gave some errors when shutting down from liveUSB after installing Ubuntu and when booting, but it works fine)

much appreciated
