restoring ubuntu in boot option in multi-boot set up.
 
I have installed CentOS-5 in multiboot set-up on a machine which already had win7 and ubuntu9.10 on it.When i am booting the machine i am not getting ubuntu in the boot option.I installed CentOS by selecting option-use the largest free space on current disk with default setup.
the disk partition table is below:
