My guess is that the NT partitioner changed the structure. Use "fdisk
-l" from a Linux prompt to see what the partition structure really looks
like. Then fix the grub config to match.

You can also use the grub shell from Linux to run the grub find command
and locate grub's idea of which partition now has your boot files.
