I think you have to install the grub packedge from synaptic. If your using an ubuntu 9.10 cd it only has the latest version of grub. I don't know the command for the latest version though. :???:

Boot up with your live CD and go to the terminal. Type
sudo grub
Then enter
root (hdA,B) where A is the hard disk number (starting from 0) and B is the partition number of your root partition (so the first disk first partition is "(hd0,0)").
Then
setup (hdA) where A is the same as above.
Then
quit
Reboot and you should have the grub menu on boot.



(To check your partitions type in a terminal
cat /etc/fstab)

Better with Windows installed first. Otherwise you have to add it to the boot loader witch can be tricky in Grub2 as it's difficult to edit.
