I think I have gone and done something stupid. I have tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 in dualboot with Win 7. Win 7 was installed first on one drive, and I wanted Ubuntu on a second drive. I made a new partition on the second drive on which I installed Ubuntu, and the next part is where I think I messed up. In the install menu I selected to install Grub in the same place it told my I had my windows loader. Now when I boot my computer I get a black screen with the text GRUB and a cursor in the upper left corner. I cant write anything and it does not respond to any keystrokes. Only thing to do is press reset button.
I am currently loaded up on my LiveCD.
My fdisk is as follows:
