would supergrub work? or have you tried it? worked for me last time I had an os disappear from a dualboot...

Unfortunatly it doesnt seem as though you can burn a CD in the live CD so to speak

Try switching your disks in the boot order in your BIOS. That actually solved a problem I had similar to yours.

That code should have worked - don't know why it can't mount the partition. Were trying to boot into vista or ubuntu when you got that message? If it was vista, that could indicate that vista was not shutdown cleanly - linux won't mount filesystems that it sees as 'dirty', as in not shutdown properly.
