Boot into Ubuntu, and open the file
/boot/grub/menu.lst

The file is pretty well documented, so have a play with some of the values

Post your /boot/grub/menu.lst

Which release of Ubuntu do you have? If you are using 9.10, it uses Grub2 which is beta and has no menu.lst file. There should be a grub.cfg file but manually editing it is not recommended. If you indicate the version of Ubuntu you are using and post the output of "sudo fdisk -l" it will be easier for someone to help. That is a lower case Letter L in the command.
