installed ub7.10, but had to replace txt in a file
Asked by

When I recently installed Ubuntu 7.04 and then 7.10, in order to boot I had to go into the file boot/grub/menu.lst and change the "UUID number" to /dev/sda5 Then the upgrades worked fine.
We think this is because my brother, a programmer who recommends linux and who helped me install my original ubuntu 6.10, made up a grub file for me. He uses gentoo himself. (I unfortunately have to use windows for some of my programs, and I have 3 windows partitions, which is why linux is sda5. Linux is also sda4 and sda6.)
My question is:
What should I do to change my grub or boot procedure so that it is standard and I can install future ubuntu upgrades without hitches?
