Yes, but he should better use grub2 from ubuntu (imho), so he can have all his three systems listed at boot time.

Yes, you need to reinstall grub2 from your ubuntu installation (there are a lot of how-to for this).

Thanks. I fixed it while you guys were replying. I found, downloaded and burned Boot-Repair (iso)

I booted the disk and let it do the recommended repairs (It reinstalled Grub) and I'm back up and running! It create a Summary if you are interested.

Spacedueler:
I spoke too soon. Windows and Ubuntu load from Grub, but GA did not. I get this instead:

Error: no such device: aa484e11-7e4d-4a38-b140-3a5531181bc6
error: no such file system
error: you need to load the kernel first

I looked at grub.cfg - here is the GA entry (and Windows for reference). GA is installed on sda3:

menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os {
   insmod part_msdos
   insmod ntfs
   set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
   search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 4414DEC314DEB6E0
   drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
   chainloader +1
}
menuentry "Groovy Arcade Linux (on /dev/sda3)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
   insmod part_msdos
   insmod ext2
   set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
   search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aa484e11-7e4d-4a38-b140-3a5531181bc6
   linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=LABEL=/GA doscsi video=DVI-I-1:640x480ec
   initrd /boot/initrd

The "no such device" the floppy search
Maybe the problem is "root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192" (it's looking for the install on the ram disk that the livecd uses????)

Ansa89:
The problem is that it searches for "aa484e11-7e4d-4a38-b140-3a5531181bc6" as root partition (this should be the uuid of GA root partition), but as we can see it isn't.
Try to replace "aa484e11-7e4d-4a38-b140-3a5531181bc6" with "/dev/sda3" (without quotes).
