If you are looking for replacing grub, then -boot the system with Ubuntu live CD -mount no other media device than your ubuntu root partition -run $sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda (Of course, the device ID can be different with your case) -reboot HTH.
