Instructions
  1. Boot Ubuntu from the live CD
  2. Click Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
  3. Type in the following pressing enter after every line 
    • find /boot/grub/stage1
    • root (hd#,#) where #,# is your drive and partition
    • root (hd#) replace # with your drive
  4. Quit the grub editor
  5. Reboot your system
Hopefully, you have recovered the grub menu and are using Ubuntu again.
