right the terminal output is this:
"ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/newroot
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/newroot
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /mnt/newroot
ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/hda
/dev/hda: Not found or not a block device.
ubuntu:/# fdik -l
bash: fdik: command not found
ubuntu:/# fdisk -l
cannot open /proc/partitions
ubuntu:/# "
