There is a well documented method for repairing grub - I have used it 
successfully on a couple of occasions.  You boot from the live-CD and 
use the commandline to re-install grub on the partition on which it is 
presently installed.  If you can't find it online, I might have made 
notes somewhere, but it's easy to find on the Ubuntu forums.
