Great,so Grub is located in the MBR but refers to it's menu list inside
the default partition.?
Ubuantu is listed as the default,but it also list two other iterations
of the same OS,one seems like a diagnostic and the other a memory check
shell.Then comes the line Other OS and below that Win2K.I was able to access
the Grub shell but it would'nt accept changes,probably since I wasn't root
and logged in. Thanks Jason.
If your Windows 2000 partition is hosed, and you don't want to repair,
reinstall, or otherwise fix it, you might want to get rid of the partition
that it sits on, and expand the one Ubuntu sits on. This is a bit more
involved, in that you need to know which partition is which, and you may need
to edit, not only menu.lst, but also your /etc/fstab file. The advantage you
get is extra disk space for Linux.
The tool I use for editing partitions is the Gparted disk:

I second the recommendation for Hardy Heron.
