This is a bad thing I did....At one time I had a partial download of Ubuntu.
Since then I have a dual boot of winxp and Ubuntu. I just upgraded my
system to Ubuntu 9.10 still dual booting with Windows. However, when I
boot my options still showed the 9.04 along with 9.10 and winxp.
So I went into Startup Manager and foolishly went to the advanced tab
and selected "Restore Original Settings" (shouldn't have done that).
Now there's no indication in Startup Manager OR when I boot that Ubuntu 9.10
exists on the computer, however 9.10 actually does exist and boots up using
one of the 9.04 Options.
Anyway to change this, or leave well enough alone???

Hope I made that clear...everything works but on boot up there's winxp and two
versions of 9.04 (one of which is actually 9.10)

The grub menu should list by the kernel release.
Did you read or use the manpage or consult the ubuntuforums tutorials on grub?

I've been checking through the Ubuntu forums, yes. I'll read into the manpage also.
