After I had re-installed 9.10 I discovered that I had Grub 2, and I wanted to get rid of some of the otehr releases that it picked up on the grub menu. I eventually found this that if I remember rightly helped me out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD Peter. Once again I discover that my documentation is not up to scratch.
