inside Ubuntu i had installed Virtual Machine (inside Ubuntu partition allocated 10Gb for that Mac OSX thing..,)..,

I am totally confused about your interpunction:)

Mmmh,

you may want to reinstall grup2 with the rescue mode on a Ubuntu install cd -> make an internet search.

This helps mostly with booting problems.

Yes, but for them you have to pay for. SUSE enterprise or RedHat Linux.

And better is relative.
