kubuntu 12.04 x64 not boot after install

hi, all.

have following situation:

on 64-bit system.
have brand new hard drive.
have installed windows 7 on first partition on hard drive.
trying install kubuntu 12.04 next windows.
kubuntu installer seems install fine, when boot this:

error: no such partition
grub rescue>

means can boot neither kubuntu nor windows. i've googled bit. i've found out (url=http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359802]here[/url]) can restore windows boot loader booting kubuntu live cd , doing this:

code:

sudo apt-get install lilo  sudo lilo -m /dev/sda mbr

the above allows me boot windows, nice , all, doesn't me linux.

i've tried restore grub booting kubuntu live cd , using gui tool "boot-repair" (and doing "recommended repair"). didn't help. brought error message "error: no such partition".

have (presumably) functioning kubuntu installation, cannot boot it. can me set grub can linux?

in advance!

how large new hard drive? , how did partition. have had issues large / (root) partitions. suggest 25gb / , use remainder /home or preferred data partition(s). if dual booting windows ntfs shared data partition have. best not write windows system partition, shared data. , set windows system partition read only.
