Reboot XP/Ubuntu 6.10 and Grub GONE!

[EndGame]

Searched but didn't find anything pertinant. I've had this XP/Ubuntu dual boot for quite some time now. Was in Ubuntu and rebooted for my wife to use XP and upon reboot, Grub is completely gone! Rebooted 5 times and system goes immeadiately into XP without bootloader.......what has happened and how do I go about fixing this? I use Ubuntu and can do the basics......in learning mode though concerning many things and I don't know if it's just shock or what but what do/can I do to fix this? Hopefully not reinstall......

Not sure where it went, but you can boot using the ubuntu Live CD then use the command grub-install --no-floppy /dev/<hd device name> to re-install the grub MBR. I would also mount the /boot partition and check the menu.lst file to make sure that it is still there and all of your grub entries are accurate.
