gnu grub version 1.99 rc1-13 ubuntu3
This server had a previous release of Ubuntu Installed so GRUB was sitting on one of the disks.
this server was at the GRUB menu and giving the usual options of which version of Ubuntu to start.
Luckily i could press enter on the default (first choice) option and it would boot up.
Unfortunately this isnt practical as this server will not have a monitor connected to it, and in the event of a power failure, to ask a client to connect a monitor + keyboard would not be practical.
If you can boot into your OS and
If your /boot is not on a seperate partition
run the following
replace X with the drive letter (eg. sda) of where your booting of.
a complete guide including if you cannot get into your OS :
