I decided to go ahead and upgrade my 9.10 amd64 to 10.04 ( a little late in the game I know, but I liked Karmic) Well I goofed when prompted to upgrade grub, and the advice the help option offered was misleading as well. After reading some other posts about various grub issues, I did the Boot Info Script (results posted below).
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================

partition #6 for /grub.
=> Grub 0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb and looks on the same drive
in partition #1 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.

I have a external usb with a Ubuntu OS on it that I was able to boot into and do some digging.
When I upgraded I selected the NTFS partition instead of the actual /boot partition and jacked it all up. Im currently downloading the 10.04 liveCD to repair the grub on the /boot after I repair the MBR on the NTFS partition.
Hopefully I can attempt to repair my Linux partitions by reinstalling the Grub that is on the 10.04 liveCD WITHOUT formatting my current partitions and still be able to keep all my current configurations.
Is there a way I can do this without overriding my current /Home if my /home is on a separate drive and separate partition?

I have a external usb with a Ubuntu OS on it that I was able to boot into and do some digging.
When I upgraded I selected the NTFS partition instead of the actual /boot partition and jacked it all up. Im currently downloading the 10.04 liveCD to repair the grub on the /boot after I repair the MBR on the NTFS partition.
Hopefully I can attempt to repair my Linux partitions by reinstalling the Grub that is on the 10.04 liveCD WITHOUT formatting my current partitions and still be able to keep all my current configurations.
Is there a way I can do this without overriding my current /Home if my /home is on a separate drive and separate partition?
