I managed to fix it. Pardon the lengthy comment, but I have a new problem now.
My hard disk looks like this:
/dev/sda1 ntfs windows7
/dev/sda2 ext4 <documents>
/dev/sda3 extended
/dev/sda5 swap
/dev/sda6 Ubuntu natty
/dev/sda4 ext4 home
I purged grub grub-pc grub-common
I installed grub-pc grub-common
Last time I had installed grub to /dev/sda6 for reasons I will explain. This
time I simply made /dev/sda [*] and installed grub to it. On rebooting:-
-My screen goes blank with a single "Out of range!" error displayed by
monitor[BenQGL2030AM]
-But in 10-15 seconds I see the Ubuntu desktop which works normally
-So grub is working but somehow no menu
I remember that my grub menu had Ubuntu, Ubuntu[Recovery], Memtest and Win7 in
that order
So I reboot:-
-Again the "out of Range error" message
-I hold [down key] then press [enter]
-Voila Windows 7 desktop!!!
The grub menu does not display for some reason I cannot figure out. I
have had Lucid, Karmic and Maverick work flawlessly on this same
hardware.
Its a minor nuisance, but I would like to fix it. However I have no clue as to
my next step.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to comment here, I will try them
out tomorrow.
Really sorry for the long post...again.
P.S. Installing grub on /dev/sda6 makes the menu visible, but symbol not found:
'grub_divmod64_full' on attempting windows boot. I installed on /dev/sda while
testing beta2, found a blank screen, reinstalled on /dev/sda6 and now no
windows with a nice boot menu.
