Can any one help me out please.

What problem(s) are you having? Which drive is set to first boot priority? Which system are you able to boot, if any? Not much info but I see you have Grub installed to the mbr on both drives. sda mbr looks on the same drive in partition one for /boot/grub and since that is your windows partition, that won't work. If you boot from sdb it might work but there might be a problem with windows being on the second drive. Not sure what is going on but you might be able to resolve this by reinstalling Grub2 from Ubuntu to the mbr of sda pointing to sdb1 but without more info...?

windows 7 is the first drive Ubuntu is the 2nd drive, both fresh installs, when I run the Ubuntu 12.04 setup and install I dont get the option to install grub it just installs
then when the system reboots after installing Ubuntu i get grub rescue command line
I've lost the desktop now but I think Ubuntu was the 1st boot.
I've installed a dual boot so many times this is the 1st time I had issues, I'm not a expert on grub i normally let the system do it..

When I installed Precise (12.04) on the weekend it gave me an option on where to install grub - but I was manually assigning mount points (the "Something else" option IIRC), so that may be a differentiator.
In your predicament I would re-install grub from the liveCD as per Reinstall_from_the_LiveCD. The rest of the recovery options might also make interesting reading. For you I think these commands should suffice
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda
This will re-install grub from the liveCD and fix the initial loader code on /dev/sda (your Windows disk). Your current grub.cfg file looks o.k. to me, so hopefully it should boot o.k. and offer you both Linux and Windows.

While I agree that grub needs reinstalled on the MBR of at least sda (looking for the base files on sda instead of sdb) I don't think that the;
Code:
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda
is a good idea.
This is the correct command to install grub using a RH branch distro. I am afraid that on a Debian branch distro this is going to have grub on the MBR of sda once again looking for grub files on sda when they only exist on sdb.
The command;
Code:
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
Should do the trick just fine.
Full directions for a number of ways to deal with grub/MBR problems under Ubuntu are at;
