I know it's stupid now, after I checked the internet, but I just formatted a partition that I had installed GRUB to.
Now, whenever I boot, I end up with ERROR 15 (which means "FILE NOT FOUND").
So, I got my Ubuntu 11.04 live disk out and installed it on top of the formatted partitition, and now at least I can boot - but I want to get rid of the duplicate Ubuntu now.
I think what I need to do is make GRUB look back on my first partition - which I have established to be /dev/sda1, or (hd0,0) in GRUB-talk. But, when trying
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
or trying:
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0,0)
I end up with:
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
Error 15: File not found
Which is NOT good!
My sudo fdisk -l looks like this (run from the live installation):

(Note: sdb1 is my livedisk, an 8GB SD Card)
PS: The reason I'm going through all this is because I want to install Android-x86, but the GRUB it comes with wont recognize Ubuntu, so it's not much of a dual-boot.
