If you mount your Ubuntu / partition /dev/hdf1 as
being on /mnt/hdf1 or whatever you like, the above
file would be at /mnt/hdf1/etc/fstab as it tacks the
hard disk on to the live CDs filesystem which is
entirely in RAM.

If Woo is right and he might be (Woo - yeah. Woo -
yeah), is there a chance that you added a 1 to the end
of grub-install /dev/hde ? Making it write to the
Windows partition instead of the mbr? If fdisk /mbr
still leaves a grub thingy then it's possible.
Hopefully reinstalling grub as above will be solve
everything. Hopefully, the errant grub on /dev/hde1
will not have affected the Windows installation. If it
has, I don't know what to do about that, other than to
say, get your stuff off the disk, reinstall Windows
and reinstall grub as above. Don't do this until there
are not other options.

Oh, yes I forgot, for some reason that Other Operating
Systems line counts as a grub entry. I'd forgotten all
about that I only had to deal with it once. Sorry, but
you figured that out yourself and it doesn't break
anything if you get it wrong and then change it.
