Post the contents of the grub.conf file and the output from the fdisk -l command.

Or you could google bootinfoscript, download and run it and post the content here. Gives a lot more information on your system.

Download bootinfoscript from here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/

The command 'sudo update-grub' run from terminal in linux is generally mentioned for correcting grub entries.

Which linux distro you are using?
