When i installed windows I counldn't able to see my Grub option to boot to ubuntu? I have installed windows and ubuntu 10.10 on different drive.

Searching over the net could solve the problem.

If you have the systems installed on different drives did you install the boot loaders to different drives. Then selecting the other drive in BIOS or one time boot key (f12 on mine) may work. I prefer to have different boot loaders on different drives and then set BIOS to boot grub as it gives a choice of Ubuntu or Windows. But you can also boot windows from BIOS in case of problems on Ubuntu drive.

If not you need to reinstall grub or grub2.
