Boot from the Ubuntu live CD. 
Hit Escape when grub tells you to, so you get the grub menu.
RTFM about grub so you know how to tell it to boot from a specific
partition (sorry, I can never remember; you'll need to do "root
(hd0,3)" or something and "kernel <something>" and "boot").
Wait until Ubuntu boots
Run "sudo install-grub" to reinstall what Ubuntu thinks the grub boot
menu should look like
Fuck a bunch of Linspire
