[plug] Help with grub please

[Kev]

G'day all,


I'm in urgent need of some help with grub 1.97 (Ubuntu Karmic Netbook 
Remix).  I've just finished resizing my Remix partition using GParted 
and the PartedMagic CD.  My only way in at the mo is using a separate 
boot disk - in this case Super Grub Disk 2.


On a root console if I type grub I'm told that grub isn't installed.  
So, as per the onscreen instruction I type apt-get install grub and it 
does this without hesitation or error.  Still grub fails at boot time 
with this error message

    GRUB loading.

    error: file not found

    grub rescue>_


The last line is a prompt.  At this stage I'm at a complete loss, not 
being a command line jockey in any way at all.  I had it in mind that 
grub 2 looked at the partitions at boot time and dynamically created its 
boot menu on the fly.  I did had EasyPeasy in sda6 and remix in sda7, 
with a windows partition in sda1.  I removed EasyPeasy and stretched 
Remix to fill the void, and I see that remix is now in sda6.  I figure 
that's the problem but with grub2 I'm at a loss to fix it.


All help gratefully accepted,

Tia,

Kev
