I also wanted to re-order/change Grub on Ubuntu/Kubuntu ( I dual boot)
and found that the easiest way was to use the SysRescueCD (live).
see www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-Partitioning-EN-Repairing-a-damaged-Grub
in particular:-
(Solutionn 1)
"In the first case (eg: rescuecd root=/dev/sda2) the SystemRescueCd
initialization script will mount the specified partition. If you type
rescuecd root=auto then SystemRescueCd will use the first valid root
partition where a Linux installation has been detected."
then
"r...@debian /root % grub-install /dev/sda"
(change /sda as appropriate)
Note that the menu order doesnt change, just the highlighted entry ( at
least in my case)
Hope that this helps
Bill
