Thanks.

I've tried this but it does not fix problem - the root in the menu.lst entry 
for ubuntu is set to (hd0,1), which is, I think the correct settting for ibex 
(my xp is on hd0,0).
 
If I select the xp entry in the grub screen it boots xp correctly. I could use 
the xp system to edit /copy files to & from the ubuntu partition, using the 
ext2fs driver. 

I have access to another system, with a working ibex 8.10 so I could
copy the latest upgrade-grub script from the working system. Don't know
linux, so which directory is it in?

Any other ideas for a way to make my ubuntu boot, so I can update it?

TIA John
