I just reinstalled kubuntu and after restarting( following the install) I was confronted with error 15 when grub starts. I've done some searching here but cannot find a way to fix it( I've even tried the simple route of reinstalling kubuntu to no avail).

Can someone help me please?

Can you post the output of boot_info_script (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/)? (If you don't know how to run the script, look here (http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/).)

What disk are you primarily booting from?
I would reinstall Grub2 to /dev/sdb (the 80G one) MBR and set BIOS to boot from it.

Double-check that you're installing Grub onto the right disk...
