I figured that the backtrack install was brand new and I hadn't done anythin g to it except apt-get upgrade so I figured I thought I would just reinstall it and then fight with the other distribution if that fixed grub for backtrack. Was I surprised when I found that both installations were fixed.

If you don't have anything on the partitions to lose, I would suggest
booting from a live CD like GParted, making your partition edits that
way and then installing as normal. I believe installing Ubuntu on a HD
with multiple partitions will come with grub already on board.
Trying to straighten it out through the command line might be a more
fun learning experience, though : )
