menu.

| Ubuntu's CD.
|
| Now that UBUNTU is on the first partition of HD #2 and Windows is on the
| first partition of HD#1
| ,  I tried 'grub-install /dev/hdb'  while  running  the UBUNTU  CD
| -----no luck.
|
| I've not found any information that pertains to my situation.
|
| I've so much work tied up in my UBUNTU that I don't want to have to
| reinstall it.
|
| HELP!!!
