no such partition~I hurt my machine

[Michael Havens]

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.
