A few pieces of info that would be helpful:

What was the install setup like? Multiple disks, or multiple partitions on the same disk?

What exactly is reporting this error that asks for the Ubuntu partition? Grub itself, some repair tool you're using, other?

In any case, I think booting a LiveCD and posting the results of a fdisk scan (open a terminal, type in sudo fdisk -l, post the return) could help us see what your setup is to provide reasonable next-steps-to-take
