That is an old error from grub legacy (0.97). Ubuntu has used grub2 as the standard since 9.10, but you can still use it.

You installed grub2's boot loader to the partition PBR sda10 when you should install it to the MBR or sda.

Many like the gui way to repair, you can download into liveCD or download as a full liveCD of its own:
Boot Repair -Also handles LVM, GPT, separate /boot and UEFI dual boot.:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
You can repair many boot issues with this or 'Create BootInfo' report (Other Options) & post the link it creates, so we can see your exact configuration an diagnose advanced problems.

You can also use Supergrub to boot and repair grub from inside your install or manually repair from liveCD:

http://www.supergrubdisk.org/

#Comments are anything after the #, enter commands in terminal session
#Install MBR from LiveCD/usb, Ubuntu install on sda10 and want grub2's bootloader in drive sda's MBR:
#Find linux partition, change sda10 if not correct:
sudo fdisk -l
#confirm that linux is sda10
sudo mount /dev/sda10 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
# The above command should work but they now suggest this command for grub 1.99 with Natty 11.04 or later - uses boot not root.:
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda


# If no errors on previous commands reboot into working system and run this:
sudo update-grub
