    [SOLVED] Error -53 on bootup

    Hi, i just finished doing an update to Kubuntu on my laptop (many,many updates), some did not install because of some download problems.
    Although many did install ok, I was prompted to do a reboot.
    Did that, and now I'm getting
    Error -23 on hda,2 error parsing the number

    I have dual boot, so hda,0 boots xp ok.
    My grub displays 3 different unbuntu kernel levels and a recovery selection for each, but any selection results in the error message, all pointing to hda,2 as the target.

    I have an Ubuntu live cd on hand for recovery, if necessary

    Is it possible that I need to fix my grub?

    Here's my partition information is in the attached jpeg

    Any suggestions on how to recover?
