Using the live CD boot Ubuntu and go to desktop. Then open terminal(from accessories) and type following:
// Spaces are crucial be careful about them where they are and where they are not.
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1 ( u'll get something like "(hd0, 11)" )
root (hd0,11) here the number 11 should be different for you
setup (hd0)

When I Type "sudo grub"
Following Output came out,But finally it had given error:
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
the first word, TAB lists possible command
completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,6)
grub> root(hd0,6)
Error 27: Unrecognized command
grub> root(hd0,6)

You need to put a space between 'root' and the parentheses: root (hd0,6)

The same problem occured to me also. All I did was boot into the live cd and Opened the console,
changed to super user mode(sudo su) and reinstalled grub.
First u have to mount the ubuntu partition. In my case it is
mount /dev/sda5 /media/
and then
grub-install --root-directory=/media/ hd0
and then I reboot.

First thing happened to me is while I type mode(sudo su) OR mode (sudo su) [including and excluding space between mode and braces] ,It came same output:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mode(sudo su)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `sudo'
And second Problem is to give directory of the logical drive.In places menu it shows five drives(MUSIC,EMPTY,14.1GB Media( Lost Ubuntu),15.7GB Media(Win Xp),New Volume).You gave directory like /dev/sda5 /media/ I can't understand.What can i do.

I also have same problem but the smallest difference is that I'm using vista home basic along with ubuntu.
Now when i tried the above commands "find /boot/grub/stage1" gave an error saying "File not found" ,what can i do next.
