Hi... I had a working dualboot installation with Winxp and ubuntu 9.10 on the only hd in my system (sda) and i installed partition magic in windows to make room for an other linux installation. I resized the windows partition and booted from a live usb stick and installed the other linux distro and got a new grub. The new grub had added the posts from the old one but when i tried to boot my old buntu i got this error: grub error 15: file not found. The last installation (kubuntu) and winxp boots okay. What to do?
Here's my old ubuntu menu.lst and fstab:
