You may try to boot ubuntu (what version?) and run on a terminal
$ sudo update-grub
If that don't work, post your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and the output of
$ sudo fdisk -l

hmm, it may just be running a checkdisk without display, had this problem as my win7 partiton has no gui boot for speed reasons (thought it was hung), let it sit for 30-60 min and see if it reboots or boots

Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Is it a fresh installation? Boot up Ubuntu ( or boot up from Ubuntu LiveCD ), open Terminal and execute this
Post output here.Code:sudo fdisk -l
* Its small L in fdisk -l.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
