Try this ... know it works w grub legacy. Have done similar recently myself to reinstall to mbr and a particular partition. Poss works with grub2 as well. Either way will only take a couple mins to find out.

You might need to purge grub and reinstall.

Refer to ubuntu grub2 document
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ... ng%20GRUB2

Go to 12

use Method 4, purge and reinstall
