I have never got my head around the boot loaders and stuff.

I have three partitions C:, D: and E. I installed Ubuntu inside Windows (wubi) on the second drive D:. Yesterday I made an another partition G: and installed Fedora16 onto it. During the installation I installed the boot loader in MBR from /dev/sda. Now the default boot loader is GRUB.

But grub doesn't show Ubuntu in the menu.I have all my scripts in my Ubuntu home folder which is now inaccessible. How do I add the Ubuntu entry into grub??

Do I revert to the windows boot loader and add the Ubuntu entry using the easybcd program??
btw windows is the primary OS and is installed in the C drive
I am a student and relatively new to Linux.

This is how it works with my Ubuntu 11.10-Windows 7-Wubi install.

My GRUB menu has entries for 11.10 (which is its own partition), as well as my Windows 7.

When I want to access my Wubi install, I select Windows, and then there is another entry to access my Wubi install or boot Windows. Here is a video of how this works.
