### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below
## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs
## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=1fa2d51e-9066-4cff-a210-7c6e689f4e0f ro
## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=1fa2d51e-9066-4cff-a210-7c6e689f4e0f
## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=true
## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false
## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash
## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
## lockold=true
# lockold=false
## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=
## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0
## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single
## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all
## specify if running in Xen domU or have grub detect automatically
## update-grub will ignore non-xen kernels when running in domU and vice versa
## e.g. indomU=detect
## indomU=true
## indomU=false
# indomU=detect
## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true
## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false
## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options

I would put GRUB on sdb MBR. You can do this from the 9.10 Live CD. Boot the 9.10 Live CD, choose "try ubuntu without any changes". When the desktop loads open a terminal and run
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt This will mount your ubuntu / partition. Next in terminal run
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdb That will put GRUB on MBR of sdb.
GRUB is now set. Reboot without the Live CD. Go into BIOS and set sdb (320 GB) as first hard disk to boot in the hard disk boot order. This will bring up GRUB when you boot. Save changes to CMOS and continue booting.
FYI: here is a link (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2) to good info about GRUB2
P.S. Your windows 7 is missing some boot files. See here from the script:

You are missing bootmgr & /boot/BCD. I did some searching about your windows problem. Here is a link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392)to fix windows so it will boot. Please make sure that you put the windows disk to boot first in the hard disk boot order before attempting to repair windows. this is necessary because windows always writes to the first disk to boot. When repair is complete reboot and make sure you can boot into windows. If so then reboot and go back in BIOS and set sdb as first to boot. Continue booting into ubuntu. Run from terminal
sudo update-grub Your windows should be detected now that your boot files are fixed and you should be good to go.
