Do you have a slave HDD by any chance? It's known to cause problems. Anyway, try this grub edit tool http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
You'll have to burn it on a CD to edit your MBR.
Err you dont edit the MBR.But you can install grub from the disk.
But ubuntu 9.10 uses grub2, which is utterly different than grub now known as grub legacy.

You wont have to reinstall the os. apt-get install grub should do the job WARNING: screwing around with bootloaders is always very dangerous. We wish you a happy and safe journey.
