Ubuntu has GUI tools like GParted for this.
In fdisk you just delete both partitions and (re)create the one from Ubuntu(usually /home) to use all space.

Post the output from "fdisk /dev/hda" (or whatever) if you need more specified info.

This depends on where your boot files are installed.
Posting your partition table would be very helpful.

Even if it doesn't boot you can simply reinstall grub using any cd/dvd/... that has grub.

Assuming you only have one hard drive (using your installation/live cd):
grub-install /dev/hda (for IDE)
grub-install /dev/sda (for SATA)
