Hi, if you want to get rid of grub-pc (aka "grub2") you have to reinstall grub-"legacy" in the mbr (or elsewhere, depends on your setup) with "grub-install". If you want to give grub2 a chance, and you should, you can install the package "os-prober", which only helps with grub2 and does nothing with grub-legacy. Also with grub2 you have to look for /boot/grub/grub.cfg and not "menu.lst". If os-prober fails to find the other OS, you can add an entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom and then run "update-grub". Don't edit grub.cfg because it's overwritten every time grub is updated or a kernel is installed/updated.
