I upgraded to 10.4 and installed Grub on a wrong drive. This means that i have it on the right drive (the one with Ubuntu) and in the wrong one (the one use for data). I have no problems with booting to Ubuntu or Windows. I can even access the files from the data drive (called Storage) after the systems boots.
The thing is that i can't auto mount it anymore (with /etc/fstab) and i don't know how to remove grub from the drive, because i can't find where the boot files are.
When booting Ubuntu, a message appears saying that there has been an error when trying to mount the drive, i press 'S', to skip the mounting and it goes to the desktop with no problems after that.
I only want to be able to auto mount it, even if i can't remove it.

SO... any ideas?
The thing is that i can't auto mount it anymore (with /etc/fstab) and i don't know how to remove grub from the drive, because i can't find where the boot files are.
When booting Ubuntu, a message appears saying that there has been an error when trying to mount the drive, i press 'S', to skip the mounting and it goes to the desktop with no problems after that.
