I get the exact same thing on my dual hdd system (Ubuntu gets one for itself to play with and XP is on another hdd).
Have the feeling i misread some info on upgrade, and didn't do as i was "supposed to" (left some box unchecked probably).
Is there a way to reinstall Grub 2 for a guy who knows just enough to be dangerous to his computer?
I ran the script and got these results:
